Does anyone know of a store where we can buy fresh pasta? Homemade lasagna sheets would be real tasty right about now!

....you might try Fresh Market out there on 466,...I've seen a lot of good things out there. That store just puts me in a good mood when I walk in the door,...the aromas....and they have cookies there that have power to heal whatever might be ailing the soul!

My wife told me that Publix (Colony) has a section where they're supposed to have "fresh" pasta. Might be worth your checking out!

Yes, fresh pasta dough to make pizza. I don't think it is sheets for lasagna, but I will certainly check. Fresh Market is a good idea! Thanks, all!

Have you considered finding an on premises bakery that sells bread (especially Italian) or pizza dough by the pound? How about trying to make the dough and pasta from scratch? I remember my mother making the dough from scratch many times and it didn't look that hard. If you're game you can find plenty of how-to-do's at the following Youtube link:

Ooh-ooh! Your wife must be my long lost sister.
I'll be over for our reunion dinner in three hours!

Pasta is actually very easy to make and I am sure all the stores have the correct flour. Just flour, egg yolks, olive oil and a little salt. I like to use the yellow semolina flour vs a mixture of cake flour and all purpose flour that some folks use. And for Lasagna, Fettuccine, ravioli or any flat style pasta you don't need a machine.

[linandvin]

hmmmmm thanks for the ideas. I may try making it. I used to make homemade ravioli. When I first met my husband, I didn't realize how much they puffed up when you cooked them, and two filled up the entire plate! I have since bought the "frame" and they are all the right size! Called Fresh Market and they DO say they carry the sheets! Will let you know how this all turns out! If I roll it myself, it should be really thin, right?

[l2ridehd]

Yes pasta should be rolled really thin. But it can be done with a rolling pin and patients. I have a pasta roller that attaches to my Kitchen Aid mixer and that will roll all different kinds of pasta. However I have made a lot of it with a rolling pin and it's not that hard to do.

mmmmmm....my polish grandmother made perogi's stuffed with potatos and onions. First boiled, then sauteed in butter and served with sour cream. They were a huge treat when we went to visit. (sorry about the thread hijack)
