It all depends on how much you eat pasta and do you see yourself actually making it. For us, it's easier time wise to just go to the store and buy fresh pasta. We even have some specialty places in our area that sell fresh made pasta, so for it, it's like why go through all the work. Maybe watch a few youtube videos to watch what is all involved and how long it takes and decide to I have the time for this and if you do, do you really want to spend the time doing it.
