Thanks, Tony, it's fun isn't it:) I have the same pasta maker as you and have had it for a very long time but a few years ago I needed a new mixer and bought the Ankarsrum. It was called the Elektrolux when I bought it. It has turned out to be one of those things that you'd wish you had bought sooner:) I did buy some of the extras but not the pasta roller or cutter. However in the last year I broke down and bought the roller and one cutter. At the time I thought this is ridiculous, I already have the Marcato and attachments, but, well you know the story:) I am very happy I went ahead with the purchase. I agree, pasta couldn't be easier. The only trick is getting the right consistency but one you figure out what it should feel like it is just so easy to make. You won't buy pasta again.
