Don't say basta to pasta

In January, U.S. tariffs as high as 107% on Italian pasta makers could see your favorite pasta brands — like Barilla, Garofalo, and Rummo — get a lot more expensive, or disappear off store shelves entirely. A ruling by the U.S. Commerce Department hit 13 Italian pasta makers with a 92% tariff rate. That's on top of the existing 15% tariff on all exports from the E.U.

While there are some U.S.-based pasta makers, the tariffs could make all pasta a lot more expensive overall. Fortunately, pasta is really easy to make — all you need is flour, eggs, water, and salt. I've been doing making pasta since I was a child, and still have some of the tools that my grandparents used. But, if you're getting into pasta making for the first time, here are five machines that make it a breeze. It's a lot of fun, too!
