The novelty will probably wear off but my Boys had a wonderful time making their own pasta noodles.I love it -It was a christmas present from my dad

ChristmasGirl · 12-31-2008, 02:36 PM

oh that does sound wonderful. I'll bet they will have good memories of that when they're older

pastelsummer · 12-31-2008, 05:17 PM

I want one of those!

amstermarie · 12-31-2008, 05:19 PM

Soaring Eagle · 01-01-2009, 05:21 PM

Yay! I got a pasta maker for Christmas, too!

I am impressed with you & your boys, I haven't even taken mine out of the box yet!

But I can't wait to start using it. Pasta is one of the very few remaining processed foods I still buy.

I would love to learn to make pasta

I love my pasta machine. Making pasta is one of the rare zone out and relax cooking things. My paren't had one that they used once. I use my lots, I try not to buy pasta!

You do know that you can refrigerate or freeze the pasta so you can make a bunch and then use it for a few meals.

I freeze it raw, I will let it dry a little bit so it won't be one mass and then I put it in ziplock bags in the freezer. I started doing that when I looked at the 'fresh' pasta in the freezer section of my Whole Foods.

Once it has been frozen it is not quite as good as fresh but it still taste better than dried from the store.
