Can someone give me some suggestions or recommendations on a pasta
maker. I
received one for Christmas and it broke after the forth use (i.e. the

became wider at one end than the other). I made multiple attempts to
contact
the manufacture with no response. The machine is a Al Dente 5 Pasta Set
made
by Villa Ware. In my email attempts I requested the cost for parts, I
received no response.



You don't say what kind. If you mean one of the extrusion ones I can't
help ya, I think that extruded pasta (and the machines that make it)
suck. YMMV. I use an Atlas with the optional electric motor and it
does a very nice job. Here's an example:

I think that is the one he is talking about, but a different brand. I have
a Villa Imperia pasta maker and mine works great. We just don't use it very
often, but we love the pasta we get from it!
