How to prepare the machine for use
- Fix the machine onto the table with the clamp provided and insert the handle into the roller hole.
- When using the machine for the first time, clean it with a dry cloth to remove any excess oil.
- To clean the rollers, pass a small quantity of dough through them and then throw the dough away.
How to prepare the mixture
Ingredients : 500g soft wheat and 5 eggs; instead of using 5 eggs you can use a glass of natural mineral water.
For ‘al dente’ pasta, mix 250g of soft wheat flour with 250g of durum wheat flour. Do not add any salt! Pour the flour into a bowl and the eggs into the middle of the flour. Mix the eggs with a fork until they are completely blended with the flour. Knead the mixture with your hands until it is completely homogenous and consistent. If the mixture is too dry add some water, if it’s too soft add some flour. A good mixture should never stick to your fingers. Remove the mixture from the bowl and place it onto a lightly floured table. If necessary, continue to knead the mixture and cut it into small pieces.
How to prepare the dough and the pasta with
Set the machine regulator to position 7, pulling it outwards and turning it so
that the two smooth rollers are completely open (3 mm). Pass a piece of
mixture through the machine turning the handle. Repeat this 5-6 times, folding
the dough over and adding some flour to the middle if necessary. When the
dough has taken a regular shape, pass it through the rollers once only with
the regulators set on number 6. then once again on number 5 continuing until
you obtain the desired thickness. With a knife, cut the dough crossways into
pieces approximately 25 cm long. Insert the handle in the hole for the cutting
rollers, turn it slowly, and pass the dough through to obtain the type of
pasta you prefer. If the rollers won’t ‘cut’, this means the dough is too
soft: in this case, you should pass the dough through the smooth rollers,
after adding some flour to the mixture.
However, when the dough is too dry and cannot be ‘caught’ by the rollers, add a little water to the mixture and pass it through the smooth rollers once again.
