"Fresh homemade pasta has a unique bite that you just can't get from dried pasta. And making noodles by hand isn't really all that hard. Here's how to make homemade pasta, with and without a pasta machine to roll out the dough."  Comment from All Recipes

The Captain and I used to make homemade pasta all the time.  We would call it a date night kind of thing and it can be a lot of fun.  It isn't that it is difficult . . . it is time consuming.  Just set aside some time and make it a fun thing.  The results are delicious.
