Pasta Maker...

[mommahawk]

Hi all!

I'm dying for some toasted ravioli, tortellini, and fettuccini alfredo! I would like to buy a pasta maker as I've made homemade pasta in the past (before gluten-free) and it was very time-consuming and I can't ever seem to roll it out thin enough...

Does anyone here have a pasta maker that they like/don't like?

And what about the differences between the different kinds, ie, rollers, presses, manual, electric, etc...?

Thanks!

I have a "Pasta Express" machine that I purchased on ebay, I don't think they are very expensive in the stores though. I use my gluten free pasta recipe in it and it mixes the dough and then extrudes it through whatever die I choose. There are probably 10-12 different shapes. I know there is a fettucine die but I am doubtful about the ravioli or tortellini as those usually need to be rolled out by hand. It works great for me as I mix up a large batch of the dry ingrediants and then keep it in the freezer and just add the wet ingredients when it is time to make the pasta. I usually cook the pasta right after I make it but the instructions say that you can also freeze it. My whole family likes the pasta.

I have a Open Original Shared Link. It's more expensive, but it's worth every penny. I'm looking forward to making pasta again after all this time.
