If not, why not? Either you’re just lazy, or you’re stupid. So which is it?

Something like 8-12 servings of pasta costs $1.50 at the most, you don't make all your own ingredients from scratch, why start with pasta, which you're gonna slather with spices and not taste it by itself?

Too "lazy" to make (again) as I did not feel it was better or cheaper than store bought dried pasta

>> No.17605172

I do fairly often. Most of the time I'm just lazy and use dried. I like to keep at least a few portions of really good chicken noodle soup stored frozen in case I'm sick or just want some nice chicken noodle soup, and I always use home made egg noodles for that. If I'm making ravioli or tortellini I'll almost always make the pasta, but sometimes I'll buy frozen sheets. Again with the lazy.

It's a question of effort vs reward. The effort of making your own pasta is astronomical while the reward is minimal.

If you make your own pasta for any reason other than fun you are unironically stupid. The cost of pasta is so low, even if you make minimum wage your time is literally not worth it. Plus that you need special semomema flour and a special machine that take money and space. If you do it for fun thats fine, but you can't pretend like its somehow a smart idea

If you think people, even those who do it regularly, are able to make fresh pasta in 10 minutes flat without any additional headache including the equipment prep and subsequent cleanup, you are detached from reality.

Satifsying and joyful to make with others, depressing and sunk cost fallacy to make for oneself. Imagine going through all the labor of making pasta from scrafch just for one’s own amusement and not to share…. I’d literally kms.

If that's all your complaint, you can get a 5 inch wide, 3 foot long food safe surface for super cheap. Just a bit of lumber, glue, laminate, and fasteners, and you don't really need a pasta roller. A rolling pin would do most of the work.

Pasta is just basically flour and water. The taste can't literally be hugely different. Only a little. Not worth the effort when I can buy good dry pasta for pennies.

Yeah, I buy frozen stuff from time to time because it's sort of a happy medium between time and result for really good fresh vs dried, but I've yet to find a really nice fresh pasta that comes close to home-made with the ingredients I can get vs the frozen stuff. It's a balancing act and mostly depends on how lazy I'm being. The "fresh grocery store stuff here isn't much different from the dry, but the frozen stuff I can get is closer to the denser texture of what I get when I make a semolina/AP mix, then there's the egg content.

Most of the time I don't want their basic fillings, and for whatever reason, the pasta they use in those has the same texture as all the dried pasta I can get, whereas I can get frozen pasta sheets that have a better texture.

I rarely eat pasta at home. I do like a good bolognese though, and tagliatelle is easy to make.
