So I finally used my birthday voucher and bought a pasta machine from Kitchenware Direct. I decided to have a go at tortellini. I made a filling from leftover roast chicken, spinach, herbs and 3 cheeses in the food processor which was easy peasy. However the pasta dough was a bit more challenging! For one, I think I'm too unco to crank the handle, feed the pasta and pull the pasta at the same time. I also had a bit of difficulty clamping the machines to my kitchen counter so I had to improvise with a few heavy cook books. Anyway this was the result. Not sure it's worth all the trouble but it was quite fun.
