Now hear me out..
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water!!!
Fresh home made pasta is not only a million times easier than anyone thinks, but more delicious than just about anything in the world too.
I have a Kitchen Aid Pasta attachment that I use. You can also buy the hand crank type. It matters only that the end results produces delicious, inexpensive culinary delights!!! I spend all of 10 minutes throwing the dough together, and another 15 making it into sheets, and then strips of pasta. Please give this one a go, you WILL NOT be sorry!
