Special Precautions and Tips:

• Make sure to rest the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will allow the gluten to relax and make the dough easier to work with.
• If the dough becomes too sticky, add a little more flour.
• Roll out the dough as thinly as possible, as this will result in more tender lasagna sheets.
• If you don't have a pasta machine, you can use a rolling pin to roll out the dough.
