HELPFUL HINTS
•
Water may be added if the dough becomes too dry.
•
Sprinkle a small amount of flour on the holding dish before making pasta. This will prevent sticking.
•
Sprinkle a small amount of flour on the pasta as it piles up. This will prevent sticking.
•
Pasta may be cut with scissors or knife to desired length.
•
Decide which styles of noodle you would like to make and place the appropriate nozzle on the
8003/8005. Place the pasta in the shape of balls or tubes (slightly smaller than the opening).
•
A consistent motion without any gaps will give you longer noodles as the pasta exits.
•
The freshly made pasta should be put into boiling water. It will cook much quicker than store-
bought pasta. Keep checking in order to remove the pasta at the desired consistency.
•
If you would like to get more creative, you can make any flavorful additions you'd like. Spinach,
basil, or sun dried tomatoes may be added to the pasta dough.
•
Leftover vegetable juice or pulp may be mixed into dough for extra flavor.
•
The pasta function of the 8003/8005 is to only extrude pasta. The unit is not designed to make pasta.
The following recipe can be done by hand or in a mixer.
•
If you would like to attempt the full process of making the pasta in the 8003/8005, try the following:
after the ingredients are mixed enough that you now have a ball of dough, run the dough through the
8003/8005 several times to knead the dough. Do not use any nozzle when doing this.
