Pasta Making Machine

You need a pasta making machine for making fresh pasta easily and quickly. My pasta making machine is about 20 years old! It is one of those cookwares that become part of your kitchen.

It is used primarily to work the dough until it becomes smooth and homogeneous. Then, using the main attachment it comes with, you can easily cut the dough into tagliatelle shape. If you don't feel like imitating the lady on this film, you should buy a pasta maker! It is a simple appliance that works the dough for you, making it a faster and lighter work. Some years ago, tagliatelle used to be made only this way:

CucinaPro 150 Imperia This model is one of the most traditional ones in Italy. It is: Made of heavy duty, shiny chromed plated steel 6-inch wide roller with double cutter head that makes thin spaghetti and wide fettucini noodles Easy-lock adjustment dial; wood grip handle easily cranks out the dough Additional attachments for a variety of noodle shapes available separately

Raviolamp Tris Ravioli Maker Set by Imperia Help yourself preparing ravioli with this useful tool.

Use it to prepare the dough and prepare plain sheets (that can be used to prepare an authentic lasagna recipe or ravioli) or cut it into spaghetti or tagliatelle.

People who prepare it manually say half the fun is in cranking out the pasta and feeling the thickness of the dough by hand and learning the texture and feel.

When it comes to rolling, the main problem you'll have is getting the dough thin enough to work with. It's quite difficult to get a big lump of dough rolled out in one piece, and you need a very long rolling pin to do the job properly. The way around this is to roll lots of small pieces of dough rather than a few big ones... Jamie Oliver
