Cut the filo pastry into eight pieces. Working one piece at a time, shape a piece of filo dough as best you can into a rough rectangle and start running it through the pasta machine. Keeping it continually floured, roll the dough out working from settings 1 - 6/7 (it is best at setting 7, but is fragile and quite hard to handle). See my tutorial on handling
homemade filo dough.
