Hi Robert
I actually posted about this on the vegetarian forum the other day! The full thread can be found at

But fear not... a recipe is to hand, and its really easy to make with or without a machine!
The basic recipe I use for one large or two small servings is:
1 medium egg
85g soya flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
Large pinch of fine ground salt (I use Solo for the lower sodium intake)
Just mix the flour and salt in a bowl, make a well in the centre, pour in the egg and oil and slowly blend in. Once fully blended, knead it firmly for around five minutes. Cover with clingfilm (saran wrap for the other side of the pond!
) and put in the fridge for 20-30 minutes. Then briefly knead again before shaping to the desired style either with a pasta maker or with a rolling pin and knife.
Voila! I'd suggest starting off just making tagliatelle or the like to get a feel for how long it needs cooking (about 2-3 mins normally). Thereafter you'll doubtless find infinite combinations fillings and flavourings (adding things like basil or chilli to the mix, for example) to play with!
I've been planning to try it with almond powder too, so if you get there first do please let me know how you get on!
Another alternative is making egg noodles... literally frying a thin layer of whisked egg in a good non-stick frying pan, lifting it off whole and cutting in to ribbons.
Hope those help.
