All in all, would I say it's worth it? Not really. It took me a couple hours from start to finish. It was a fun project and I also tried raviolis (which turned out ok, but I had a ton of dough and too little filling). That's a whole other story I will definitely explain at a later date! I would definitely do this on the weekends, but way too much time during the work week. I wish I could have my own little bakery (cakes, cupcakes, pasta, ravioli, pies, etc.) It would be fun and I would love to bake all day.
For the pasta, I did the mixing by hand (I made a well in the flour and cracked the eggs and mixed it all using my hands) but with the ravioli I made it in my Kitchenaid and it was much easier. I would suggest using a mixer.
