Ran across a YouTube channel that y'all will be interested in.  It's called Pasta Grannies.  The author chronicles italian grandmothers making homemade recipes before they're gone for good.

    Thanks @GATraveller I subscribed and will check it out when I have some time.

    Love homemade pasta - in fact I'll be making some later this afternoon to go with the farmer sausage I just took out.

    Thanks for posting. Looks like it could be interesting.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Funny- I saw this on Reddit twice today, then on here, and it was in my wife’s Facebook feed today as well. These grannies have a good digital marketing firm! Good for them. Looks like good content.

    I make homemade pasta, too, and kick myself whenever time constraints force me to open a box of dried, which is too often.  Most dried pasta is of a pretty good quality, but  not like the real thing.  Will check out the channel.  Thanks.

    I ran across it on Reddit as well.  Full disclosure: I haven't had a chance to watch much of it yet but will when time allows.  I'm a total sucker for stuff like this though....even if rarely make homemade pasta.  I like knowing.

    We watched a few last night. Very skimpy on details and the ones we saw were like 5 minutes long. there were no mentions of how they seasoned the meat they put in the pasta and said they always cook in "meat broth" as apposed to water for that dish....ok thanks. not sure what they are trying to accomplish here but it was far from a recipe or even a "how to" demonstation. Just a video of an old lady making pasta saying stuff like "put the meat in here" and "my pasta is 1mm thick"

    Yea.....there aren't a lot of details.  You'd have to have a bit of kitchen experience and a willingness to "wing it" to follow most of the recipes.

    If you're looking for large, this one isn't going to work for you Fish.  Here is a stamper I had in my cart - This one will make 3" ravioli.

    I used that same pasta drying rack for years before I discovered there's a nifty, half-round "transferring stick" in the center column; I had kept a wooden dowel to transfer cut noodles from the machine to the rack all that time!

    Everything in my life is subject to change.......my Sunday plans changed from the kitchen to a softball field.  Finished 2-0.  

    Stay tuned for Lasagne.
