It was on special offer

Look what the nice delivery man just brought. Couldn't help myself... It was 20% off  ::) 

No more chewy ravioli for me, I did try with a rolling pin but it's very difficult to get the dough thin enough.

Amaz*n.

I know, I know it's another gadget but I really thought last night either the rolling pin, the worktop or one of my wrists was going to break.  :nowink:

I might do a round lasagna tonight - just because I can  :lol:

I got one of those last year at the local auction for £3.  It was nearly new, I think the previous owner didn't know what to do with it.

Unfortunately, I keep forgetting to get it out of the cupboard!

I bought one too recently, after continually using someone else's! I love it. Makes the best lasagne!   :)

I've got one of those - they are brilliant. It's great to make fresh pasta that's different too.

I add a couple of handfuls of minced fresh herbs to the dough mix for herby speckled tagliatelle, or pureed chilli (though that means very thorough washing of hands!!), or spinach that's been pureed after being wilted and squeezed.  The spinach one can crack a bit if it dries out so I usually use it fresh - I might not have got the ratios quite right...

What I haven't got the hang of is feeding the pasta into the machine one side and being able to avoid a tangled mess on the other if I'm on my own. I always need a helper!

Me neither. I tend to work with very small pieces of dough, otherwise it sticks to itself as I roll it out. I love the flavouring ideas, I hadn't thought of doing it. I bet all sorts of things would work. I must give it a go.    :)

I just rolled 100g of dough into ribbon about 3ft long by allowing it to fall over the edge of the worktop and just taking up the slack from the end so it forms a U shape. I'm very impressed - I wan't to play with the cutter attachment now  ::)

Now this may sound surprising being as I make everything else from scratch but I really can't be bothered to make my own pasta.

It is probably has something to do with the fact that I am not overly keen on pasta.

I did have one of those gadgets but after the first couple of goes sent it to the charity shop.

I am most impressed with you Mr Lardman, for making your own pasta. Double gold stars for you. :D :D

I'm impressed! You should try the cutter attachment - it's lots of fun - even if you then need a third hand!
