Pasta sauces are so easy to make and freeze i really dont get why people buy them. <BR/>As for the the linguini - well, i use a pasta machine, which is basically a simple roller that adjusts down. <BR/>to make linguini, there is an attachment that 'shreds' the pasta sheet on it's way out, making the strips. it's easy once you have made the dough - i will email you with some helpful links. Once you get the hang of the dough, it's easy.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512660051158275112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38739054.post-45748402231148436632008-03-30T23:36:00.000+01:002008-03-30T23:36:00.000+01:00Speaking of making your own pasta, I have a quick ...Speaking of making your own pasta, I have a quick question for you Leigh, how easy would it be to make my own Linguini? Would I need any special equipment or skills?<BR/><BR/>I have developed something of an obsession for this pasta, I enjoy it best with a simple tomato sauce with cumin, pepper and fish sauce. It's an odd combination but tastes so good, I can't wait until I can try it with my own home grown roast tomato and onion pasata.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
