Pasta machine recommendations??

Very impressive - you must be really into your pasta.

I was just looking at those molds on eBay. Look nice and easy to use

Thanks Julie.

Dede I bought this type of mould (Julie's picture) for making ravioli  after making a mess with Atlas attachment and  I find it very good.

Wow - impressive looking pasta JulieO and so many different varieties!! Maybe you should start pasta making classes . . . and plating up classes . . . and food photography classes or generally cooking classes. I think there are enough forum memebers that would love to attend!!

  Tasty, I'd die of stage fright!

I'm so excited - not long did we get a free pasta machine....but it's an atlas marcato (they're supposed to be really good aren't they??)!!

Only problem is no manual.....can anyone tell me where I could get one? do they have a free online one or something??

Well it's finally home and according to the box this set can make lasagne, tortelloni, fettucine, spaghetti, capellini and ravioloni.

I didn't realise how heavy it is.

Thanks for the links. Have checked them out and hoping it's what I need. Will play around a little and give it a go later in the week as at the moment, can't really tell what's what.

Looking forward to trying fresh pasta and see how different it really is.

Does anyone have a recipe for pasta that doesn't use eggs?

[gertbysea]

You wanna make pasta without eggs? I guess it's possible but have never done it but my DIL has .

I would say just semolina, flour and water. It will be sticky  so you will need to keep flouring as you go.

Making pasta iis all about the feel so you don't really need a recipe but I am sure someone has one.

It will definitely be better than bought.

Good luck

I will be making egg pasta but there will be quite a few times I will need to make it without so I need a recipe for that too.

As for making it....I definitely need a recipe first then can try and work things out from there. I'm a recipe follower.
