So I was fortunate enough to get this pasta roller attachment set by KitchenAid for Father's Day, and wow, am I impressed at how easy it is to make and roll pasta, but even more amazed at how much better it taste than the hard, store bought stuff, no matter the brand. This stuff is amazing. The pasta itself is light and fluffy and you're not left over with a hearty heavy feeling. It's really the only way to enjoy a pasta, marinara, carbonara, fettuccine, etc., etc... The ONLY way. If you have a KitchenAid stand mixer that can take attachments, please give this a shot. You will not be dissapointed.
Total time until we ate was about 45 minutes, and that includes the 20 minutes you need to let the pasta dough rest.
Try Mario Batali's pasta recipe.
Just note, I did modify this every so slightly... I added about 1-2 tablspoons of water and about 1/2 tablespoon of salt.
The sauce is just San Marzano tomatoes (Canned), some ground beef and salt and pepper, and onions...
I also HIGHLY recommend this sauce, which can be bought at Kowalski's.

So true! I bought a small hand-crank pasta roller 5 years ago and I don't think I've bought store bought pasta since. It's such a quick and easy meal, I always make it when I have guests coming over. They're always so impressed, but they don't realize it's one of the quickest tastiest things to make.
My favorite is homemade spinach pasta with a drizzle of olive oil, some freshly ground black pepper and some freshly grated romano - MMMMMM.
i'm going to try that VERY soon (spinach)!
That's the loveliest pasta I've ever seen. Just beautiful!
I've been meaning to attempt a homemade GF pasta...might have to do that this weekend!
