A while ago (hell - it's a year) I posted a question
about pasta making.

I'm still failing.

Has anyone been to Northern Italy (e.g. Florence,
but I imagine Tuscany in general) enjoyed the local
soft-textured pasta, then returned to dear old
Blighty, and

*successfully reproduced the pasta at home* ?

I have one of these:

Which should help with part of the processs.

Yours in hungry anticipation...
