Anyone make their own pasta

Is it worth it, is it nice, does it freeze well? Which is the best machine?

We get more eggs than we can use and I was thinking it might be a good way of storing and using eggs.

Any thoughts anyone

Thanks

have never frozen it, but made it quite often (dotn eat too much past as too wheaty for me, has a not pleasant after effect  :blink:) but it was always delicious and well worth the effort
used to make it with the pre-school children too - havnt done this in a while so think i might after half term

i think my machine came from a kitchen shop - great thing about it - you cannot wash them - bonus

i would guess to make some (roll thinly with a rolling pin) freeze some and see how it goes - if it comes out good then you will know - i would think you  would need to open freeze it in strips as when it defrosts it might go a bit soggy, or you could freeze sheets between greasproof paper and then cut if needed

good luck with it, the taste is wonderful (makes amazing lasagne)

..... one day I'll get round to it, been meaning to make some for ages....

I've made it in the food processor then divided the dough and frozen lumps of it. It is a bit sticky when defrosted but rolls out OK with a touch more flour. My motives were the same. Find a way to preserve eggs in the glut season.  Homemade ice-cream made with fresh custard is another good one.

It tastes fantastic home made - shop bought fresh pasta doesn't touch it

Freezing lumps of dough is a great idea, i hadn't thought of doing it that way.

I'll give it a go, thanks
