7 Reasons To Make Your Own Pasta

1. It's Easy

Have eggs, flour, a bread-roller, and a knife? Well congratulations, you have everything you need need to make your very own pasta. Or if you can't afford the time or just want to make the job a little easer? Buy a pasta machine to have the rolling and cutting all done for you. Some pasta machines will even mix and knead the ingredients for you so all you do is drop some flour and eggs in and push go!

2. Adaptability

Need fettuccine tonight but only have a store-bought packet of ravioli? Make your own pasta with a pasta machine and you can make any variety of pasta you like, whenever and however you want. If you want your pasta a little thicker or thinner, great, you can now do that too!

3. Tastes Better

When you make pasta yourself, you're eating pasta cooked from dough rolled and cut just a short while before. Fresher ingredients equals fresher taste (unlike that bagged pasta sitting in your local grocery store).

4. Room to Explore

Did you know that there's flour made from acorns and chestnuts? With so many types of flours available, the possibilities for creating your own unique pasta flavors are endless.

5. Diet

If you're vegetarian or simply avoiding certain foods for weight loss, by making your own pasta you have easy control over the ingredients allowing you to substitute ingredients or drop them out altogether. No need to cut out pasta, just change it!

6. Allergies

Are you gluten or egg intolerant?If you have allergies and wish you could eat pasta, make it yourself and you'll have complete control over your ingredients.Try using tapioca flour instead of wheat flour for gluten free pasta and replace eggs with flax seeds and water for egg free pasta. No need to limit yourself, broaden your horizons!

7. The Experience

Kneading, rolling, and cutting your own pasta is an experience not to miss. Once you experience pressing your hands into a soft floury ball of dough and pressing and rolling it out smooth and flat, then finally slicing that into neat baby soft strips of pasta, you'll never return to stale commercial plastic bags of pasta. And if you choose to make your pasta with a pasta machine, take the opportunity to appreciate the fine traditional craftsmanship found in many pasta machines often built right in Italy.
