Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ridiculously easy. I have 2 growing boys and a 6'4" husband that all eat a LOT. I was tired of buying box after box of pasta, only to have to cook it to death to get it remotely tender (and not mushy). I love making pasta, but it's such a mess the old fashioned way. Before I bought this I thought "I don't need this", "it's a uni-tasker", "what a ridiculous gadget". Now I think "I love this thing", "It works better than expected", "WOW". It's pricey and certainly a little bit decadent, but what fun! Tip: For our first few batches I used just AP flour and water (the most basic option). Be sure to weigh the ingredients as the cup measure was way off compared to the weight (250g). Also, I was completely convinced it was way way too dry and would never work (it looked like very dry pie dough before it comes together). Do NOT add extra liquid, just wait. The machine uses pressure to "force" the dough together and it needs to be that dry to extrude properly. Happy cooking!
