There are two basic types of machines that can be used to make homemade pasta-the roller type and the extruder type. With this type of machine, the dough is run between the smooth rollers at increasingly thinner settings until it reaches the desired thickness. The sheets of dough are then fed through either pair of the notched rollers, which cut them into noodles.
Some machines have additional attachments, such as crinkle-edge cutters for making lasagne noodles.
Extruder pasta machines mix the dough inside the unit, then force it out through special plates with variously shaped perforations. Depending on the perforations, solid or hollow-shaped pastas can be produced. Please review our Legal Notice and Privacy Policy .
