Moreover, does pasta dough need to be kneaded?
An under-kneaded pasta won’t have the same kind of snappy spring as a properly worked dough, and you may even wind up with bubbles or bits of unincorporated flour. It’s almost impossible to over-knead a dough, though, since it’ll eventually build up so much elasticity that it won’t allow you to continue.
How do you know when pasta is kneaded enough?
The dough will appear to tear and pull apart from itself. After approximately 10 minutes of continuous kneading, if you stop and try again to slowly pull the dough apart, you should notice that the dough stretches without tearing as much. The dough should also appear smoother, sleeker, and more homogeneous.

Why is my pasta not rolling?
If you skip settings, and don’t start on the widest setting, the dough will struggle to pass through the roller. The dough is a bit too moist and this is causing the dough to stick to the roller, creating tears. Again, adding some more flour will fix this.
