I was wondering how big it is and whether it is any good!

thanks :j

My pasta machine looks the same as this - can't remember where I got it, somewhere cheap and cheery no doubt! - works brilliantly, my brother in law even bought one to impress the girls with his culinary abilities after seeing my use it. Very simple to work, fairly easy to clean and homemade pasta is fairly impressive and tastes tons better than the dried stuff, I don't even worry about using "posh" flour, normal value stuff from Tesco works fine, well my family can't taste the difference anyway!

We got that one and it's a good buy. Seems the same as all the really expensive ones to me.

thanks - i'll go and get mine tommorrow!

Mummysaver...if you have the time, could you please tell me what recipe you use for the pasta and how to prepare? Much appreciated if you can! The last time I tried a recipe I found on the internet and it was gross. But then I didn't have the machine - was just rolling it out and cutting it.
