Great.......... -
Totally awesome low carb pasta. I used it to make lasagna with ground beef, pork and chicken livers. My only problem was that it dried out so fast that some of it broke apart in pasta machine. How do you get around that? -
It looks easy to make. I would like to see more pasta machine recipes.
