I've never tried this, but if you're willing to experiment, a few things to try:
- Roll out the pasta, then do a bit of a accordion fold / pleating sort of drape of it before slicing it into individual noodles. (if you pleat it at an angle, you might be able to get it even more curly). Of course, this means you can't use the pasta cutter on a roller.
