Kitchen Pasta Maker on its Way!

Well, I did it.  After getting caught up and spending the entire morning (which was, of course, supposed to be spent doing other things ;)) on Amazon and eBay, I finally decided on my new kitchen pasta maker.  Being a newbie kitchen pasta maker, I wanted something inexpensive but not a cheap pasta machine, simple to use, but with enough features to do the job and simplify the process.  After sifting through many, many kitchen pasta makers, reviews, features, and so on, I finally landed on the following as my kick-starter kitchen pasta maker set.  I'll let you know in the future how it goes.  Oh - and I'll also give you some insight as to how I came to this decision out of the multitudes of choices in hand pasta makers and homemade pasta maker machines.

All in all, I decided a good starter kitchen pasta maker package for me was:

• naturally, an economical kitchen pasta maker
• a pasta drying rack
• an introductory homemade pasta-making cookbook
• and a ravioli maker - I'll be making our own cheese and growing the garden again soon, so this seemed to be a good option for me

Here is what I bought:
















I did strongly consider this one with the additional pasta maker attachments, but opted for the above for now...




...but I can see myself upgrading or adding to my new pasta machine in the future, and probably not that distant, either ;)
