Why pasta is so great? I am a pasta lover and I cook different variety of pasta meals however right now, I do not wish to share with you any of my cooking skills but rather my fascinating reasons why I love them. I also wish to share about a helpful machine that has given me quite amazement.

First, pasta is a valuable source of nutrition containing only 1% fat, 12% protein and a high amount of starch. Second, it is easily digested and gives off 350 calories per 100 gram portion thus allowing a wide choice of sauces and condiments without the need to worry about exceeding nutritional recommendations. Third, pasta can be paired with meat, fish, legumes and even vegetables and various sauces – it acts as a rice substitute, thus it already provides a balanced meal for everyone. And lastly, pasta is so simple to make. You just have to cook the pasta and while you are at it, you can already prepare your sauce!

Although many pre-packaged dry pastas are already out in the market, I could really say that nothing beats the taste and quality of homemade pastas. Not only that, they are also easy to make – you just need flour, eggs and salt and you can knead your way through. What’s even more fun about it is that you can experiment with your ingredients and maybe you might even discover your own signature pasta! And talking about making homemade pasta, I will introduce to you a good friend of mine. It’s a pasta machine and goes by the name of Quality Italian Made Pasta Machine. A nice and a weird name – but it clearly states what it really is.

This product is made of high quality deluxe chrome plated steel making it strong enough to even handle polymer clay. It is 8" wide with 6-3/4" rollers and has nine settings for you to adjust your pasta’s thickness according to you preference. It weighs 5 pounds and with removable crank handle for easy storage. Maintenance is simple as 123 – just clean the rollers with a brush or wooden rod. Here’s the catch – you can let your imagination and creativity flow and enjoy your free time making jewellery, buttons, frames and scrapbook art materials. You can design your house with your artworks or even sell them in the market. In other words, this machine can also be your income generator!
