Do you really need a pasta maker?

If you’re planning on making homemade pasta regularly, then yes, you should definitely get a pasta maker. It allows you to roll the dough out very thinly, in case you want to make thinner types of pasta like linguine. Tip: be sure to lightly dust the pasta with flour before you put it through the machine so that it’s easier to handle.

But if you just want to make pasta from scratch a couple of times a year, then don’t bother buying yourself a pasta machine. Simply roll out the pasta dough using a rolling pin, until you reach the thickness that you want. All it takes is a little muscle!
