make your own damn ravioliy’all. making your own pasta will change your life. buy this bad boy. I’m a broke college student and with this little device and a pasta maker i eat like a kind and save about $200 a year on pasta. you heard it right – inflation ain’t no joke. ravioli is expensive. save money. make your own damn ravioli.

Love this little toolHandy little tool for making our raviolis look so pretty and uniform. Very simple to use as well. I’ve never had dough stick to it. The only downside is that it’s a little difficult to clean. The flour dries in the little squiggly pattern. Need to go at it with the scrub brush for a bit to get it all clear.

Decent Pasta MakerRight up front I want anyone reading this review to know I bought this pasta maker to roll out and condition polymer clay, not to make pasta. Would I use it to make pasta – most definitely if I didn’t already own an Atlas machine and a number of parts. I needed a dedicated pasta maker that would be used only for clay work and most of the less expensive pasta makers sounded like junk. I found that the machine seems heavy and reasonably well built. It rolls just fine and the adjustments work okay too. The knob for the dial is a bit clunky but works. The handle on the machine has a tendency to fall out if you are not paying attention. Solution for that problem is to just apply a slight amount of pressure while turning the handle and then it’s not a problem at all. I think this would be a great introductory pasta machine for anyone who wants to start making fresh pasta at home. I’ve owned an Atlas, as I said above for years, it works beautifully when I get the urge to make pasta. But between you and me, I’m not a big nut about making pasta – just too lazy and the packaged stuff tastes just fine by me. I just didn’t have the heart to destroy a very expensive pasta maker to roll out polymer clay and who knows I just might get up out of a chair someday and decide to make pasta for dinner and then what would I do, LOL? Decent machine at a good price for the novice to decide whether they want to spend a lot more money on an Atlas (or some other brand), get off the sofa and make pasta for a lifetime!

Great ExperienceThis was my 1st pasta machine and I like the ability to thin the dough, only remember to flour the pasta to make it pass through the machine and work into the dough. I found the setting 7 was perfect to make the small noodle pasta that is included in the attachment. The machine only drops the dough under the rollers so you have to be aware after the pass the dough needs to be floured for the next pass.I would have given it a 5 star, but the clamp is outdated and needs to be re-thought. Quality is very good though.By the time I was done making the noodles my dough was ready to use, so have the water close to boiling as possible.Flouring after each run through is wise as the dough is thinned.Remember the dough tends to dry out if you make a big batch; I only used a 1/2 cup/ 1 egg ratio with the flour bag open for dusting the table as I was working.Cooking the pasta is quick so be ready.Hope this helps.Late Edit: 9/27/13; I am sad to say that the C-clamp threads broke free from the C-part and will not clamp to the counter. The remedy to turn it in expired and the price to ship the part back is over $10 bucks, oh well…I am still using it though,found a clamp that works from the hardware store.

New to pasta? I am… This machine is perfect for beginners!I wanted to try my hand at making fresh pasta and wasn’t sure about what machine to buy so I chose the cheapest one I could find.Just arrived today and I had to try it out. First of all I must say this doesn’t feel cheap in any way. The machine rolls the pasta quite smoothly if you have your dough at the right consistency. My wife & I are now hooked after the first try. Homemade pasta is amazing!!!!I don’t know how well this machine will do over time but for a beginner like me it’s perfect. I will probably invest into the Kitchen Aid attachments if I make as much pasta as I plan on, but until then this machine will work fine. It has 9 thickness settings that go to practically paper thin.I used a simple recipe consisting of 2 medium eggs per 1 cup of flour and pulsed the food processor until it formed a ball. Then I kneaded the heck out of it until it felt firm and smooth. Let rest for at least 20 minutes and then divided it into about 8 smaller balls and let them rest again. I went as thin as 6 and it made perfect fettuccine noodles for my soup. It will also do tagliatelle noodle which is a little bit smaller than spaghetti noodles. I am so looking forward to the next adventure in pasta….I would highly recommend this machine to anyone who wants to try pasta without the investment of a more expensive machine. If you know you like homemade pasta and will make it often, maybe a better machine is in order for you. 😉
