Always wanted one of these machines, but not practical when there is only one to cook for. Thanks for sharing.

Whilst I would have to purchase the pasta, rather than make it, I do love the mix of this dish. Something new and yum for us to try.

Looks delicious and fresh. A perfect alternative to a rich tomato based pasta when you want something a little lighter.
