How can I keep my homemade pasta from sticking?

Help for sticking pasta

If you see that your pasta is sticking there is one basic technique that will help. Ruffle the pasta gently as it extrudes. This is most effective if you keep the pasta moving all the time. If you stop for a few seconds, the pasta will usually start sticking again. This helps keep strands separate and helps the surface dry.
