Fresh pasta is a delightful alternative to the typical dry pasta bought in stores. The process is time consuming and physically demanding, but well worth the effort. You can use your Weston Pasta Maker to make pasta to be enjoyed immediately or you can dry your pasta to use later.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Weston Pasta Maker Pasta dough Table Knife
  1. Step 1

    Prepare pasta dough as directed. Keep the dough covered until just before ready to use.

  2. Step 2

    Assemble the pasta maker by sliding the roller onto the base. Insert the handle into the roller.

  3. Step 3

    Secure the base of the pasta maker to the edge of a table using the clamp.

  4. Step 4

    Move the roller into the first position, which creates the largest gap between the rollers.

  5. Step 5

    Feed the pasta though the rollers to create a flat sheet of dough. Repeat this by folding the dough over and re-feeding it through the rollers. Do this as many times as necessary to achieve a consistent sheet of dough.

  6. Step 6

    Change the setting on the rollers to make thinner sheets of pasta and repeat the rolling process until the desired thickness is achieved.

  7. Step 7

    Slide the cutting rollers onto the base and select the desired cut of pasta.

  8. Step 8

    Feed the dough sheets through the cutting rollers. Cut the pasta with a knife when the desired length is achieved. Feed the remaining dough through the cutters.

  9. Step 9

    Disassemble the pasta maker and clean by brushing off dough from the rollers.

Tips & Warnings
  • Use a small amount of vegetable or mineral oil to lubricate the rollers if needed.
  • Do not wash your pasta maker with soap or water.
