We have eaten dried pasta for years and recently was awoken to the fresh variety by our daughter. She started buying fresh pasta and experimenting more with the whole italian connection.

After a few weeks of making our own sauces but still buying the pasta I realised that we could save a lot more by making our own pasta. I invested £25.00 in a machine and I can tell you once you make your own you will never look back.

Two cups of flour and two eggs is all it takes (that is for 3/4 people) and if like us you try your own sauces it is a very easy meal. The secret appears to be to let the dough 'rest' for 30 minutes and then it becomes more pliable.

It takes a bit of getting used to the machine but after a few tries we had the hang of it. You pass the dough through a series of guides until the correct thickness is reached then you pass it through another guide to make spaghetti, tagliatelli or whatever.

Having been converted I will never buy dried spaghetti again, it is so easy and more tasty to make your own.
