If you let the sheets dry for about ten minutes or so and dust them lightly with flour you can roll them through the cutters so easily it's almost not funny. Tonight a friend brought us a pound of fresh chanterelle mushrooms. While chicken chunks and chanterelles were cooking I pushed out a batch of fettuccine for five people in under an hour, and then made a quick white sauce while the water heated up. I bet you would love the pasta attachments. If you can, connive a relative or two to chip in to buy them for you for Christmas, if you celebrate Christmas. Mine have almost paid themselves off!

What you could do to jazz them up would be to experiment with herbs and vegetable juice to add color and flavor. There are lots of recipes online for different types of noodles as well. Also remember to make them as thin as possible since they will swell once they hit the water. I just used a rolling pin, but you could buy an inexpensive noodle extractor. The best part of homemade noodles is you know exactly what is in them (none of those ingredients you can't pronounce just to preserve them on the shelf for years). And you could get your daughters involved in the making process. @Catrina, Hi Catrina, To me the homemade noodles tasted similar to the egg noodles you would buy, but fresher.

I have 4 little girls and we eat A LOT of pasta here- lasagna, spaghetti, etc... So I was wanting to see if I could give it a lil PIZAZZ with homemade noodle... Please lemme know! :) Catrina (Feel free to email me back) :) Hi! :)

If nothing else, it's great to know for those times you need some and don't have any or need more than you already have. @Kaja, We go through a lot of noodles around here, so I am seriously considering making homemade a bit more often.

The first batch I fed to the chickens as they were a bit plump. Rolling them thin is definitely key here. Next up, spaghetti and macaroni. I need a noodle maker for that, though. @Rose, I was so excited with these. The first batch I fed to the chickens as they were a bit plump. Rolling them thin is definitely key here.
