    Hey Joe,
    I have the Marcato Atlas 180 Pasta Machine...I look at it everytime I get out my corkscrew, (which is pretty frequently...) and it saddens me that I've made only one attempt at making pasta... and a sad attempt it was. I think the intimidating thing about making pasta is the time commitment. But, seeing as I'm actually out of store bought pasta...maybe I'll be motivated to break it out again. The Mac Cheese recipe looks good. Too good.

    Steve,

    I get a little better with the pasta maker each time that I use it. Well, provided the eggs don't decide to go over the wall and make a break for it. Kneading seems to be the key. Lots and lots and lots of kneading. Then some kneading, followed by a bit of kneading.

    The Mac Cheese is pretty cool because it tastes different depending on what beer and cheese I have on hand. Not surprising considering that, out of boredom, I decided to make the sauce like fondue.
