  • Ah luv ya for creating this. I wondered if I could use the bread machine or not...now I know. Blessings to you!

  • Great video! The pasta turned out tastier than the best store bough pasta we buy! Only thing was that the pasta didn't get fully cut from the pasta machine. It just made indents and then I manually separated the pieces (which was tedious and time consuming). Was there something wrong with the dough, pasta machine, or how I was doing it?

  • @yaara71385

    I've never heard of that happening. If you managed to flatten the strips and you could handle them enough to run them into the cutter then I would guess the cutter was damaged. If your cutter is like the one in the video you could test it on a small scrap of paper. It should shred it. Make sure the dough sits for 20 minutes in plastic wrap. After that if it's sticky at all pat it down with more flour.

  • The pasta machine simply flattens and cuts the dough with more control and precision than you'd have using a rolling pin and knife. So yes.

  • amazing.. i have a breadmaker but don't have a pasta making machine. would it be possible to make pasta without that machine? thanks

  • Great video, clear and practical. I wish other cooking and baking videos on YouTube were like this. Thanks!

  • If you have the time this is great and it does minimize on mess. Sometimes I need to make heaps of pasta quickly, so this method wont work there. But, nice vid all the same

  • 7-10 minutes is way too long for fresh pasta. 3-4 minutes is more like it!

  • fabuluous:D:D I'm going to try it:D

  • Wonderful, thanks , bought pasta machine years ago - your vid. inspired me to rescue it from the back of a cupboard where it had been banished because I,d never had any success making pasta before.....but this worked, and it was so easy!! - I actually made it with just bread flour, salt and water and a little olive oil (no egg) and it was great. Off now to try it again with an egg, and make some homemade ravioli. Thanks again.

  • I made pasta like a pro on my first time out. This video is awesome!

    I ended up using 2 1/2 to 3 tbsp of water but otherwise it was spot on. There really was no effort required and my wife loved the results.

  • WOW, Look at you...and I'll bet your not even Italian. lololol

    I have never ever seen such an easy way to make pasta. Grandma always made it the authentic, back from the old country (Italy) way. She was the only one that could make it right. We always failed. lololol

    Your way looks so easy and by what the other posters are saying, a guarantee for it to come out right.

    Thx, I am motivate to try again!

  • Fantastic it worked the first time out. I have had these Italian hand crank pasta gizmos out on display in my house for years only because they look so cool. But every time I tried to put one to use I ended up with a huge sticky mess and no real pasta!

    This vid was just enough to make me understand and pull it off. Remember everything mentioned is essential!! The hanging on wood and drying between presses makes it all work.

  • @italiancherrywine

    Another great way to dry pasta is to take a metal baking rack from your oven and wedge that under the microwave (sticking out). Then you have a dozen metal bars on which to hang pasta. It allows more separation and faster drying.

  • @rob5i

    Thanks for the perfect recipe and the tip!

    Having lots of fun making perfect pasta with my vintage Italian hand crank machines.

    I don't even use the electric bread maker now because one of my gizmos came with a hand crank dough mixer (groovy heavy duty orange Italian plastic) and it works great.

  • clever idea and so simple

  • Great idea and video Rob, thank you! I have a damaged shoulder so cannot knead and as we make wheat free pasta for our daughter I thought I was going to have to revert to the not-so-nice supermarket brands - you have saved the day!

  • Wow, great video...I did take a private pasta lesson and I think I learned as much with your video or more. I am curious how sticky your dough is when the bread machine is done kneading it? Would you say it is tacky (meaning it simulates your finger pulling off of a post-it-note) without the dough sticking to it or is there no tackiness at all? My experience with my class wasn't the greatest and your dough looks much softer than what we were making. Thanks again! -Tim

  • I'd say less tacky than a post-it note. If it's too tacky dust it with flour and pat it down some more.

  • Fantastic video Rob, many, many thanks. I bought my Imperia pasta maker but then found that I would have to knead my dough for 10 mins, not easy with damaged rotator cuffs! I thought my pasta making days were over before they begun! Then I found your post, and as I make spelt bread for our daughter who has gluten issues (but can tollerate the gluten in spelt) I am already a daily user of a bread machine so I made my pasta dough just like you said - and it turned out fantastic! Thank you!

  • put the pasta on a sheet tray with wax paper, no need to hang it

  • Nice job man....very informative and a great idea...Thanks!

  • Hi, Rob. I appreciate your video! I bought semolina flour with the intention of using my Oster breadmaker for some homemade pasta. I don't have a pasta machine, though; I will just have to roll the dough out flat and slice it. We don't have room for an extra machine in our little kitchen. LOL

  • @gardenwife Im in the same boat. I have an Oster breadmaker, no pasta machine and a tiny kitchen! But by golly Im gonna make it anyways!

  • I give you 5 stars! nice job

  • thanks for recipe..can this dough be frozen? I also have recipe that is half flour and seminola flour..would that be ok? thanks

  • I haven't tried freezing but I would recommend you cut it first (those pasta machines can be finicky if you don't have just the right dough texture). If you do try it please post your results.

    The recipe is 'open source' in other words experiment away. I didn't specify 'semolina' flour or 'olive' oil because I use the ingredients I have on hand. I've tried semolina and have mixed it with all purpose flour. They worked but do be sure to get the proper balance of moisture (seen in the video).

  • thanks for the video I can't wait to try it!

  • Can you make this dough in a kitchen aid mixer with dough attachment?

  • While I haven't tried it, the recipe should work fine. The only difference I can imagine would be the dough mixing time. After the dough ball is formed I would still recommend following the instructions of wrapping and letting the dough sit for 20 minutes. However, if your mixer has a program that gives the dough a setting time of around 20 minutes you may be ready to press at the end of it's cycle. I hope that helps.

  • LOVE your video i have a feeling you just saved me a LOT of time :)

  • You are a practical person, I like that. Good going.
