Fresh Pasta

[lemonD]

I haven't made it for a while, I remember when I had some left over I tried to dry it which ended up very brittle, any ideas why?
Does anyone have the pasta attachment for the Kenwood Chef? Does it work ?

I never got homemade pasta to keep, so always used it the same day. I have a Kenwood pasta maker attachment, do you want to make me an offer for it

It works OK, but I prefer using the old fashioned hand crank jobby if I'm going to make the effort to make fresh pasta.


You don't need to make a very big offer, just whatever SWmBO might let me get away with

I use the pasta making attachment for the Kenwood and find it simple to use. I also use a drying rack to hang it over just to stiffen it up. I think it cooks better and is easier to handle if you let it dry a bit. I don't make up large quantities as I think fresh pasta should be fresh, but I have kept some wrapped and in the fridge for a week.
If you leave it to dry out completely I would expect it to become very brittle, but I've never left it that long. Also I would be concerned about keeping it too long uncooked because of the egg content. However, if you like using attachments, this one is fun to use and produces good spaghetti.
