Uni - with the eggless pasta. After you make it, what else is involved? Do I have to dry it and for how long?

I'm planning to make it this Friday and want to be prepared.

Am thinking of buying a pasta machine so just read both threads of your advice. I must thank you all for your thoughts, but I'm now tired at the thought of making pasta! :P Maybe I'll look again tomorrow. I do have an Arcosteel on hold at Target for $36 but thought it might be false economy buying it. The Marcato sounds much better! Or perhaps I'll take a leaf out of fundj's book & buy wonton wrappers for ravioli...and just get fresh pasta from the freezer of the IGA! ;D The idea of making it appeals though.
Anyway..as I said, I find this forum invaluable! Thanks!

Aldi (in Brisbane) have pasta makers on sale today for a week. Electric ones are $99 and winding ones are $19. We started odd with having to wind it but found I needed an extra arm so went for the electric one - its great! Does lasagna, spaghetti and fettucine. The packet stuff just doesn't have the same taste as the real stuff - the effort is well worth it :)
