My respect is undying. That la-de-da chef may sneer a bit though. Lets not tell him.

Lisa,
Ditto what Amy said about fresh pasta freezing well. For dinner parties I make it in advance, loosely make nests with it on a cookie sheet and freeze it. Bag after freezing and cook it from frozen. I use CI's version with 10oz flour (I use 00) to 3 eggs.

I second Josh's comment about rolling the dough straight from the fridge, Lisa. And once you get the KA attachment, you'll wonder how you lived without it. I made bowties and ravioli for guests this past Friday and it was a fresh (ha) reminder that nothing wows people more than tender homemade pasta filled with delicious ingredients. We fought over the leftovers on Saturday.

I haven't made ravioli in ages. What filling did you use Emilie?

The roller attachment can be found quite cheaply on ebay from time to time. I think I paid around $50 or so for my mom's...new in box.
I have a manual crank machine that I have yet to use, it's a hand me down from my friend's grandmother.

I use my hand crank all the time. It's easier than getting the KA out plus I don't have the KA attachment. I also mix and roll it out by hand. Frankly, I think it's easier and that's how I learned back in the stone age.

I don't have the KA attachment and use my Atlas for rolling and cutting. I like interacting with the dough in a way I think only manual methods allow.
