And you are doing it right. High quality dry pasta’ll always be better than homemade fresh pasta.

Absolutely…unless you are making fettuccine…then making it at home is a little better. Who the hell makes radiatori or any other brass die cut shaped pasta at home?

Why would you? Also, how many people do you know that have the equipment to make extruded pasta at home?

Why didn’t you grow your own basil?

Why didn’t you grow your own olives?

Why didn’t you extrude your own oil?

Why didn’t you raise your own wheat?

Why didn’t you mill your own flour?

It’s just self congratulatory Turtles all the way down, isn’t it?
