If you want to get into pasta making but don't want to pay for a machine or go through the effort of rolling it out by hand, there is an alternative: gnocchi.
In the above clip, Giorgio Locatelli whips up some rather tasty looking gnocchi from scratch. There's no bowl involved in this method -- just the old-school ring on the countertop with the egg in the middle. What's particularly interesting is his insistence on boiling the potatoes with the skin on -- not something you see with other gnocchi techniques out there.
He might have a tendency to lick his fingers and not wash them, but methinks the recipe will do just as well without that added touch.
