So, off and on over the years, always wanted to take a stab at home made pasta. I was in a kitchen supply store and they had a Atlas 150 pasta machine on sale so picked one up on a whim.
So, had to try make some...surprising easy if I can do it first attempt! Bit of 00 flour, bit of semolina flour, and a few eggs. We had an impromptu dinner with a few friends that popped over and we ended up eating the pappardelle with a beef ragu I had left over from a previous cook. Everyone was commenting about how much better it was than dried/store pasta. I have to admit...it was very good and noticeably better.
Pics below...my first ever attempt at pasta dough, first use of the machine (rolled out and cut some fettuccini), and first pappardelle (drying on the hacked together rack). Made fettuccini alfredo with the first batch and pappardelle with beef ragu with the second.
I would recommend this machine if you get into the hobby...it's not super cheap at around $100 (Can), but is rock solid, and has a 10 year warranty too...there is an optional motor available as well.
