Fresh pasta is epic (notice the joy on Keely's face). Jamie Oliver encouraged me to give it a rip, and I haven't looked back. The classic italian lasagne with fresh pasta/bechamel/red sauce is unbelievable, and so much better than the standard american dry pasta/ricotta/red sauce one. Just a super simple fresh noodles + garlic-y olive oil + parmesan + crushed red pepper is amazing, too. Ravioli make for good dinner party food. I'm not going to go in to detail, go buy Naked Chef or Jamie's Kitchen, his pics and instructions are great.
That said, pasta dough is basically 5 eggs + 3 c flour. That's it. Kneed it like bread dough. Roll it to 9 for ravioli and lasagne, 8 for noodles. For ravioli, lay down some filling, paint the dough with a little water, fold over the top half, press out the air, cut, and cook for 2 minutes. Easy. And good.
