Using Your
Pasta Extruder
USE IN THE FRONT POWER HUB AT SPEED 1-3. PLEASE NOTE THAT
DOUGH MADE TOO DRY OR FED THROUGH TOO QUICKLY MAY
CAUSE YOUR PASTA ATTACHMENT TO BREAK.
Fitting the Pasta Maker to the Mixer:
To fit the Pasta Extruder to the Stand Mixer, remove the Front Power
Hub Cover of your stand mixer. Then slide the Pasta Extruder into the
outlet turning it slightly so that the shaft engages in the socket with pin
located in the hole. Release the catch to lock.

For best results, the parts of the Pasta Extruder can be warmed in
a bowl of hot water to assist extruding. Dry thoroughly before use.
2
Spaghetti, fettuccini, and lasagna may be cooked immediately or
allowed to dry completely before storing in a plastic bag.
3
Macaroni, rigatoni and large macaroni must be cooked within
4 hours of extruding; otherwise they become very brittle and snap.
4
Position the Pasta Extruder on your mixer, and turn to speed 1.
5
Gather walnut-sized pieces together and drop by hand into the feed
tube. The scroll will pick up each piece of dough and self feed
through the pasta plate. You should be able to see the scroll before
adding the next piece of dough. In the unlikely event of the pasta
dough no longer self feeding through the scroll, use the specially
designed wrench handle to assist. DO NOT use a knife or spoon
handle as they may damage the scroll of your Pasta Extruder.
6
The pasta first extruded will always tend to curl in different
directions. This is quite normal and the pasta will straighten as it
continues to be extruded. If desired, the first 5 inches of curled pasta
may be gently pulled away from the plate and again passed through
the attachment. Increase to speed 3.
7
When the pasta has reached the desired length gently pull away
from plate.
8
A convenient way to dry pasta is to arrange the cut pasta on a
pastry tray sprinkled with flour, preferably semolina flour. As one
layer is completed, sprinkle flour over the noodles, place a piece of
parchment paper over them, and continue layering with noodles and
flour. Dry for at least 15 to 20 minutes.
9
To ensure that pasta is evenly colored and not streaky, feed the
dough into the feed tube at a constant rate.
