You Should Make Homemade Pasta

To see what else you should make, check out the other posts on granola, pizza and crackers.
At least once and I'd suggest for a small group of people since one batch can be a lot of effort. BUT, I swear to you, you will be a happy eater. I've made tagliatelle two or three times since learning how to make it in Italy and each time it's been entirely fantastic. Yes, it takes time. Yes, there is about 10 minutes of kneading involved. And yes you should recruit a friend to help you hold the dough as it comes through the pasta machine. But one bite (with butter and cheese, with pesto as pictured here, or with red sauce) will convince you that it was all worth it—the texture is completely different than anything that comes out of a box. And the satisfaction of making pasta is quite high, which always makes it taste even better.
