This 10 to 15 minute kneading session seems excessive, though I do it anyway (much to the dismay of my tired forearms!). So, when you make pasta, how long do you knead the dough? Is 10 to 15 mintes crazy?
My wife and I are on a homemade pasta kick. We're thoroughly enjoying experiementing with different shapes and pairing it with different sauces (even adding different things to the dough). We use a basic recipe: unbleached flour, eggs, olive oil and salt. I got the recipe from the Joy of Cooking and, in the book, it says to, "Knead the dough for 10 to 15 minutes or until extremely elastic and satiny."
