A few months ago I bought myself one of these -
Shiny innit? I promised myself that when we had a house with a big kitchen bench I'd get one and try my hand at making pasta. Well, we found the house over a year ago. I bought the extruder in July. And the weekend just passed I FINALLY got around to attempting to make pasta. And after what I experienced I think fresh pasta will be on the menu a lot more often!
I tried a recipe in my pasta cookbook that involved flour (I bought 00 for the purpose), eggs and a bit of oil. I decided to make the dough in my breadmaker - because it has a pasta setting, I have a feeling it only really works for the recipe that comes with the breadmaker though (which uses water, not eggs). It didn't knead properly but that was okay, I finished it by hand, adding a smidge of water because it was a bit dry.
