As an aside I went to the Follakzoid matinee show straight from the pasta work shop. The door man said “Can I check my pasta machine into the garderobe” was probably going to be his quote of the day.

Did he also ask "Hast du eine Flasche?"

There’s definitely an art to it, the lady who was teaching us (a friend of a friend’s mum who was in town) was cranking the pasta strips out and doing the fancy plaits with ease. To make this specific pasta, ie tortelli, the pasta had to be the thinnest setting on my machine. I was getting it this thinness without issue and mouth texture wise it worked. If it’s too thick to start with, the pasta doesn’t cook evenly due to the plait being thicker.

And it’s fun. I’m goimg to make some spaghetti this week just to practice....and take it from there

Does homemade pasta taste much different to shop pasta? Allways wondered?

I’m not sure if you mean dried or shop bought fresh pasta. But, compared to the latter the mouth feel is different; the stuff I made had bite and a bit of springiness to it. It tasted good and it’s very satisfying knowing you made the meal from scratch. And I enjoyed it. I can see the time/benefit argument but im quite happy opening a beer, putting some music on and beavering away. And I get brownie points from the Frau....win win win.

Been experimenting with spaghetti, different thicknesses, and minutes in the pan of water. 2nd to last notch on the roller thickness and 2mins in the pan of boiling water seems to work. Going to experiment a bit more tonight as the spaghetti wasn’t fully dried out...I guess drying will affect things.

Any thoughts ?
