If you knead it right away, it turns into crumbs, or if you've added too much water it's like mud.
Mix in the right amount of water, let it rest for a couple of hours, and it's rubbery almost. This rubbery texture means you've made it right. Knead it into an elastic texture using some kind of pasta machine (I prefer hand-cranked for just a family dinner). I use AP flour to coat the pasta dough so it doesn't stick. Then cut it into noodles, and it's ready to boil or stir-fry. I use an Italian-made Atlas pasta machine.
