Pasta maker - great idea or never use more than twice?
Discussion
Hi all,
I was asked what I wanted for Christmas and at the back of my mind I have always wanted to try making pasta using one of those metal machines you can get off Amazon for £20 - £30.
However - the flip side of course is that you can already get 'fresh' pasta in supermarkets a lot cheaper and easier than going through the whole rigmarole of making it - so is homemade significantly 'better' than shop bought? - or am I setting myself up for disappointment?
Also - I suppose I will need one if I get it - has anyone got a foolproof pasta recipe?
Thanks!

Thanks guys - I probably will end up going for it and getting one - its not the end of the world if it only gets used a handful of times I suppose. Thanks also for the recipes! I like the idea also of freezing the dough ball - could the finished product also be frozen or does that defeat the object?
