How do you make pasta with the press?
Make your pasta dough
Mix a batch of pasta dough in your stand mixer. Note: Don't be tempted to put anything other than pasta dough into this attachment.
Select the right speed
Slide the stand mixer speed knob along to the correct speed shown in the plate chart above.
Feed in walnut-sized balls
Slowly feed walnut-sized balls of dough into the hopper. The dough should self-feed with the augur. Wait until the augur is visible before adding the next piece.
Use the tool if needed
The combo tool is for pushing dough if it becomes caught in the hopper and no longer self-feeds.
Cut your pasta shapes
As the dough emerges, cut it to length with the integrated pasta cutter. Please see the plate chart above for the recommended lengths.
