Yes. Use 100gr 00 flour and one egg (or 200 gr and two eggs etc) You could use plain flour, according to Nick Nairn, but, in any case, make a well in the flour on your flat surface (or in a bowl if making a mess worries you) and put your egg(s) in the middle. You can whisk the eggs with a fork, but then start mixing the flour with the egg keeping the 'well' for as long as possible, then finally knead it all together for about six minutes or so until the dough becomes silky. Wrap it in cling-film and leave in a cool area for about an hour before rolling it out and putting it through your pasta machine at the largest setting - then reducing the size as required. You can do many pasta shapes without a machine by using your initiative, but only try to use a mangeable size of dough at a time. There are recipes available on the PC if you search for them. Good luck.
