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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

[meowkittycatcat]

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

[yoavperry]

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.
