All-purpose flour works perfectly well, but '00' flour will result in a silkier, softer dough that is easier to roll out, especially by hand.
The amount of flour needed can vary depending on the size of your eggs and the humidity. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. If it's too dry, you can add a teaspoon of olive oil.
Resting the dough is a crucial step; do not skip it. It allows the gluten to relax, making the dough much easier to roll.
To store fresh pasta, you can form the noodles into nests, let them dry slightly, and then freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to a month. Cook directly from frozen.
