Hi Joan,
OK. Here's a great basic pasta recipe.

Basic Egg Pasta with Flavor Variations
Recipe By : Good-For-You Pasta Cookbook ISBN 0-76150124-x
3 cups all-purpose flour -- unbleached
5 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon water -- OR olive oil
To make by hand: Pour the flour (reserving 1/2 cup to add as necessary) into
a mound on a floured work surface and make a well in the center of the
mound. Crack the eggs into the well, then add the oil or water, salt and
optional flavoring. With a fork, carefully beat the liquid ingredients
within the well, then gently incorporate the flour into the liquid as fast
as you can. Begin kneading the dough by folding, pushing, and turning it,
adding the reserved flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough is smooth and
not sticky. Shape dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Let rest for
20 minutes.
To make in food processor: Insert metal blade and place all ingredients
EXCEPT for 1/2 cup of the flour. Process, adding enough of the remaining 1/2
cup of flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is smooth and not
sticky. Let the machine knead the dough for a couple minutes. Remove from
work bowl and shape into a ball on a floured work surface. Wrap in plastic
wrap and let rest 20 minutes.
Roll small amounts of the pasta and cut into desired shape or use manual
pasta machine (following directions). Dry on a pasta rack or lay it out on a
tea towel dusted with rice flour for 1 to 5 hours or until dry.

Braciola
These are Italian style stuffed beef rolls that can be served as either a
side dish or a main course. They are also quite suitable as appetizers or to
serve for a party dish. This recipe comes by way of my oldest daughter
Bridgett and her grandmother Rose who is full blooded Italian. Enjoy!
3 lbs. Rump roast, trimmed and sliced 1/4 inch thick across grain.
Stuffing (see below).
Marinara Sauce (see below).
2 tbsp. Olive oil.
Brown the slices of beef in a skillet with the olive oil and set aside. Once
the slices have been browned, fill with stuffing and hold together with a
toothpick. Arrange the rolls in a baking dish and cover with the Marinara
sauce. Bake at 375 degrees for 11/2 hours and serve.
Stuffing:
Use a basic turkey like stuffing as follows:
12 oz. regular bread cubes plus cornbread cubes, with seasoning mix.
4 oz. pine-nuts.
3 stalks celerey.
1 diced onion.
1 diced apple.
First brown the nuts and other ingredients in a saucepan so they soften and
the flavors blend. Add the seasoning mix before putting into the bread and
add broth as directed. You want medium moisture content.
Marinara Sauce:
4 tbsp olive oil.
4 cloves pressed garlic.
1 medium onion, diced.
1 tbsp. oregano.
1 tbsp. sweet basil.
11/2 tsp. tarragon.
1 tsp. thyme.
1 tsp. sage.
3T dried parsley.
1 tsp. savory.
salt & pepper to taste.
1 small can tomato paste.
32 oz. tomato sauce.
16 oz. crushed tomatoes.
two cans Italian style stewed tomatoes or 4 cups fresh chopped roma
tomatoes.
3/4 cup thin 1" slices bell pepper (yellow or red preferred).
11/2 cups sliced mushrooms.
1 16 oz can olives chopped.
3/4 cup zucchini (optional).
1 tsp. baking soda.
11/2 tbsp. brown sugar.
1/2-1 cup red wine.
4 to 6 Italian sausages (hot or mild to taste).
In a large pot, pour the olive oil, onions, garlic, and spices. Saute
ingredients to break the flavor. Add tomato paste and continue to saute for
about 5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes and chopped
tomatoes. Next, add peppers, mushrooms and chopped olives. Then add baking
soda, brown sugar and red wine.
Brown 4-6 Italian sausages in a skillet (I like few hot, few regular), and
add them to the sauce. Cook the sauce for at least two hours before serving.
This sauce can be used on pasta of any type, or on top of other dishes
manicotti. You can double this batch and freeze some for later.
