Just to let you know that my Imperia 150 is doing sterling work.  It's a pleasure to use after the J.O. one.  Lots of nice fresh pasta.

Wish I'd done the interthingy research Schmy.  Unfortunately I got a voucher from one of my kids and wondered what I was going to spend it on.

Like Schmy, I'm disappointed that J.O.'s let his name be linked to frankly shoddy equipment.  The Imperia may be about £20 more expensive but it's really worth it.

Has anyone been to Recipease to make 'filled pasta'? It's well worth the visit. There's one in Clapham and one in Brighton. It's a super-fun thing to do for a birthday with friends or just a treat for a friend.

You learn how to make a few different shapes and a super-easy filling & dressing. It's a great way to try it out first and see how easy it really is, to make your own pasta. 
You also get to use a pasta machine, so it's a great way to try that for the first time too, before you buy one - and get advice about what to look for - you don't need to buy the pricey ones!!

The filled pasta lesson is an 'eat-in' one so you eat what you make at the end, and enjoy it with a glass of wine
Here's a link - you can see Jimmy - the chef/instructor, on the right - who is usually based at the Clapham Recipease.

So much fun that I'd go again to do filled pasta!!

Love to hear about people's experiences with making pasta.
