When I make pasta dough, I don't measure- just want your dough to stick
together. I have heard that when you pass your dough thru the roller,
you fold it and pass it thru a few times, which is enough kneading. I
would think that since they're fresh, they won't absorb as much water
as dry, so you may be ok just tossing them in your soup
