I love homemade pasta and it is so easy to make. For every cup I use roughly 3/4 cup all purpose flour(King Arthers) and 1/4 cup semolina flour. When I am forming the dough I dust the table with semolina.The basic pasta recipe I use is 3 1/2 to 4 cups of flour to 5 large eggs.I use a Kitchen Aid to start the dough but finish it on the table.Kitchen Aids are awesome,if you don't have one you should really invest in one.I have the pasta attachments for mine and it totally makes the process easier and faster.

Michael Hedges - Because It's There
Michael Hedges is one of my all time favorite musicians.The first time I saw him was around 85-86 and I was absolutely blown away.His stage presence was beutiful,his stories always so funny and his music just soothed the soul.Sadly he passed in 1997 at the age of 43.He was driving home from the San Francisco International Airport when his car skidded off a rain slicked s-curve and down a 120 foot cliff.Hedges was thrown from his car and appeared to have died instantly.It was a few days before his body was found.So very very sad.
