Also they're easier on your stomach than regular died pasta. The reason? flour is cheaper than eggs so Big Pasta uses less of the latter which is the easy part to digest in pastas. Heck they'll even add food coloring to make it look like they used a decent amount of eggs. Don't be a fool anon, and start making your own pasta today!

You don't wash it just dust the flour off with a brush or a towel. Thing is you MUST NOT wash it or else you might remove the grease that allow the rollers to work properly

If your going to the trouble of kneading pasta why even bother with a pasta machine. Easier and less clean up to roll by hand.

Also the majority of Italians eat dried pasta and most restaurants give you the option of dried or fresh. There's a reason for this and since they eat it every day I'll go with their expert option.

No he didn't. They eat both but like most of the world they eat dry more frequently. It's more convenient and is perfectly fine. One is not better than the other, they are just different things for different recipes. Fresh pasta is not automatically better just because you want to feel special.

Dried pasta dough won't really dirty it. Just dust off the extra flour so it doesn't get everywhere. I make pasta with this shit all day every day for work and you hardly have to "clean" it.

How the fuck ?
Making the dough itself takes 5 minutes, assuming you don't let it rest, but using that machine takes like 20 minutes, and that's to make lasagna (the only thing I use it for as the cutting parts suck).

A rolling pin is much faster.
