You won't regret the pasta mangle. I never buy pasta unless it's penne or macaroni or something.

seems like loads of work mind. Just read Jamie Oliver's egg pasta method.

Von chef mangle for 20 squid with a few cutters seems to cheap to miss. Do you have any good recipes or is it just '00' and eggs?

Geez, I just use any old flour, but 00 is recommended, Don't put anything in it, no salt or anything (loads of salt in the boiling water to season). I just use 5 eggs to 500g flour. Or 1 egg per 100g of flour. Squish/nead it all together into a ball (or until even yellow all the way through and flour mixed in), then into the mangle. Only thing you need to change is less egg if you are using spinach for example (just make sure to dry the spinach as much as possible).

And if making for the wife and I, I generally just use 2 eggs, and 200gram flour. We'll have leftovers with that.....

kool man thanks. I've been really getting into italian food lately. it's so simple and tasty what's not to love haha my lass was saying how could it be worth the extra fuss when normal pasta is so easy. I cited the observation that most homemade versions of anything edible are usually far superior.

tortellini and tiger bread.

When you make homemade pasta, you realise why Italians don't smother their pasta in sauce. I got a ravioli shaped board thing and I failed using that. I reckon it's easier to make larger individual ones by hand..

Aye, it all stuck to the tray, lol. Total fail!
You can get attachments for the mangles that allow you to run two sheets of pasta through it and there's a middle section for mixture. I'll see if I can find pic.
there....

aye I imagine it's tricky balance that by looks of it... but once you've cracked it it can't be all that hard. he said, famous last words.

it was refreshing to be asked if you mind your burger pink in the middle.

You heard of the thing (on twitter, facebook or something) about "we want plates" lol. Basically all the places these days serving food on shovels, in plant pots, bit of old roofing and shit, lol.....WE WANT PLATES!!! People send their pics in. The fun thing to do is if served food on a stupid item, then make sure there is a much mess as is possible.

Google images - we want plates, lol>>>
