Not true. I ordered an extra large, with anchovies on half. Martin avoided the anchovy half, I'm not sure which half you ate from.

I would definitely not "make" anybody eat from the anchovy half. More for me.

My wife's lasagna is my absolute favorite pasta dish. She's really picky about each ingredient that goes in it and makes the noodles from scratch.

What I don’t see mentioned here, which is to me, the most crucial aspect to pasta, is the pasta.

We got a Phillips pasta maker two years ago. It mixes and then extrudes fresh pasta in minutes.

Just add good semolina flour and water, and “voila”

Seriously - once you make your own fresh pasta, you really can’t go back to dried store bought.

Oh what the hell, it's only money. There's more where that came from.

I agree with you that fresh pasta is so much better. I have the attachments for my KitchenAid mixer and use it maybe once a month or so. It makes wonderful pasta but it is a time-consuming and messy project. It'll be interesting to see how this Phillips contraption compares.

My favorite is spaghetti with olive oil and garlic. It's my go-to dish for something quick and easy. With a little salad, you've got an awesome meal. Here's Chef John's take on it:
