EDIT: P.S. I've augmented the tomato sauce with carrots in that pic...
I fail to see the point of pasta, was it a device to keep the little women busy pasta competing?

Re: Filo Pastry
Glad to hear it, Wordsworth.
Re homemade pasta making, MM.
I did an experiment on the Beeb after some conversation or other, with homemade lasagne pasta vs 3 other types.
1. Homemade was by far the best result. Really worth it, but only if you wanted to make it that is.
2. Dried pasta sheets - quality brand - lovely result
3. Fresh pasta sheets - flexible and nice enough
4. Budget tesco really cheap value stuff - turned to wallpaper paste
This must have been 10 years ago, and I feel fresh pasta has improved (I would have used Waitrose back then).

No more than skinning chickpeas, peeling chestnuts, stuffing mushrooms, pushing things through a sieve, grinding grains, making filo pastry .... thankfully we can cheat with most of them nowadays and choose! If you've got time, making pasta is quite fun.
