HOW TO MAKE SHEETS OF PASTA AND PASTA WITH AMPIA 150
Set the machine thickness-adjustment knob on number 0, pulling it outwards and
making it turn, so that the two smooth rollers are fully open (Figure 6 and table A).
Feed a lump of dough through the rollers, turning the crank clockwise as indicated by the arrow (Fig. 7).
Now cut the sheet of pasta crosswise into
pieces about 25 cm (~ 10 inches) long and
lightly dust them with flour again (Fig. 11).
Lightly dust both sides of the sheet of pasta with flour (Fig. 8) and fold it in half
(Fig. 9). Feed the sheet of pasta through the smooth rollers again: repeat these
operations 5-6 times until the sheet of pasta has a long and regular shape (Fig. 10).
Cut the sheet of pasta in two and lightly dust with flour on both sides.
Set the thickness-adjustment knob on no. 1 and feed the sheet of pasta through
once without folding it; then set it on no. 2 and feed the sheet of pasta through
once again, then set it on no. 3 and so forth until achieving the desired thickness.
Insert the crank into one of the holes of
the cutting rollers and while you make it
turn in the direction of the arrow,
feed the sheet of pasta through to
achieve the desired type of pasta:
fettuccine fig. 12 or tagliolini fig. 13.
Pick up the pasta with the special stick and
transfer it to the Tacapasta (pasta drying rack).
tIP:
For fettuccine the recommended thickness of the
sheet of pasta is with the thickness-adjustment
knob on no. 5, for tagliolini it should be on
setting no. 7. the thinnest pasta sheet thickness
is achieved by setting the machine on no. 9 and
feeding the sheet of pasta through twice.
