Pasta maker
My kids got me a pasta maker for Christmas and it was probably my best gift ever.The first couple months I used it all the time but with the warmer weather we switched gears to the grill. With this cold spell I figured I would break it out for Sunday dinner.I rolled out some sheets of pasta and had the kids hand cut some wide noodles to go along with chicken and broccoli and homemade alfredo sauce.The addition of some red bell peppers made this dish even better. A nice chianti made for a perfect afternoon.Homemade pasta doesn't resemble store bought and is easy once you get the hang of it. Bon apetit.

I've had one for about 5 years. Mine is an extruder , not a roller. Love the pasta. Also like the very short boiling time with fresh pasta.
I hate the mess it makes to make it. Spend more time with the cleanup than with the actual pasta making.

I have one,but it's the old school type. Been using since my grandmother taught me when I was a kid. I'll agree. There's nothing like the taste and texture of fresh pasta. Especially when you use semolina flour for the dough..
