3. Line a sheet tray with parch-
ment paper and generously
dust with semolina
fl
our to
keep pasta from sticking. Set
sheet below extruder attach-
ment.
4. Set Stand Mixer to Speed 5
and slowly drop in 4 pieces of
dough, one at a time, without
using the pusher (if making
spaghetti or bucatini, use
Speed 10). Do not over
fi
ll.
NOTE:
Dough will “knead” in
the extruder chute for about
1 minute, before extrusion
begins.
5. When extruded pasta reaches
desired length, use the pasta
cutter ring to cut it, by turning
the cutter
fi
rst to the left and
then quickly to the right; let
cut pasta fall onto dusted
sheet tray. If pasta dough
sticks to the back of the cutter
this may lead to unclean cuts.
If this is the case
fi
rst stop the
unit, remove the pasta cutter
ring and clean out any stuck
dough. Replace cutter ring
and continue with remaining
dough. If this continues to
occur dough may be too soft.
To prevent this from occur-
ring dust each piece of dough
in “00”
fl
our before putting
through the extruder.
6. Drop in more dough pieces,
one at a time, as pasta is
extruded and cut. Generously
dust all cut pasta with more
semolina
fl
our.
7. Repeat extrusion and cut-
ting process with remaining
dough pieces.
NOTE:
Pasta
can be cooked immediately or
generously dusted with semo-
lina
fl
our, dried and stored in
airtight bags in the refrigerator.
8. Boil pasta in generously salted
water to desired doneness.
Recommended cooking
time is about 3 minutes for
spaghetti and 6 minutes for al
dente rigatoni, though cooking
times vary (see Tips and Hints
section).
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
1. Remove the pasta cutter
manually by pushing it
fi
rmly
and rotating it counter-
clockwise to release the
notches from the grooves on
the pasta extruder body. Then
remove the ring nut manually
or with the wrench if it is
fastened too tightly.
2. Feed screw can be removed
by using the hook on the top
of the wrench/pusher.
Please note: the feed screw
metal washers may be very
hot. Let cool before touching.
3. Allow dough on the pasta
plates to dry before cleaning.
Once dough is dry, separate
the plastic and metal pieces
of the pasta plates and gently
tap out any loose dough. To
remove stubborn dry dough,
using a wooden or plastic
skewer, or toothpick, is help-
