I fancy getting one, but so many on the market and the prices vary so much.
MIL had one and we thought it looked fab.
Just go and buy dried pasta
Nice looking machine and fairly hefty

Re: Pasta Maker
What's wrong with using a rolling pin and a pizza cutter to make fettuccine or tagliatelle type ribbon pastas or roll the dough out thin and cut into oblongs for lasagne? You could even roll the dough out by hand into long tubes and cut into small regular sized pieces before cooking in boiling water.06-06-2017, 11:13 PM

It's very awkward using a classic pasta machine. You need 3 hands ideally as you need to wind the handle, feed the pasta in and collect/support it as it comes out. On top of that the machine needs to be firmly fixed to something otherwise it just moves all over the place when you wind it. I jury rigged a piece of wood to place on the kitchen counter but even so the whole thing is awkward to use.
