I love the machine except for the clamp that is provided.

@TheGinaj Make sure the water is boiling furiously and put a tablespoon of olive oil in with the water. This will float on the top and should help the pasta from sticking together

@matwade76 I make the pasta with eggs and flour, no water…I so not put EVOO in the water (just salt). I will give it a try and keep you posted….Thanks for responding back…

@TheGinaj Hi Gina. It may be one of a few things. Maybe the dough is too moist – how are you making it – just flour and eggs? (I want to check you’re not putting water in it too, which could affect things and isn’t required.) Otherwise, make sure your pan is large and you’re using LOTS of water. For long pasta I also add drop of EVOO and stir constantly as it cooks (w/a spaghetti spoon). As for sauce, just mix it through – don’t cook the pasta further, that could maybe get it clumping. Help?

@matwade76 Hello, Yes…I cooked the pasta for about a minute and the sauce was prepared before hand. I drained the pasta and placed it into the sauce in a boil and it seemed to stick together and not separate. Do you think I under cooked?

@TheGinaj Hi there, how strange. Didn’t you just mix or cover with sauce and eat it? Do you mean it stuck together in the bowl? Did you cook it, drain it, then sauce and eat? More info please and I’ll try to advise!
TheGinaj

How do you keep the pasta from sticking together after cooking? I made some pasta and it clumped together, but it taste great. I boiled and did not let it dry, but the end result waspasta stuck together. Any advice/

Thanks for posting this! I received a pasta machine for Christmas but the instructions were missing. This video was a great help. Thanks again.

@Cobalt961 Hi there. You could definitely make dough with different, more chinese flour, but the two cutting options you get with this standard model are set. Maybe an additional angel hair (capelli d’angelo) attachment would be better for superfine noodles.

I got the same machine for Xmas and it’s really good ! A must have if you want to make your own pasta.

Thanks for posting this video, Can you use this machine to cut dough into thin Chinese noodles and Japanese Udon noodles?

Many thanks in advance

@matwade76 i forget, but its cool!

@chillydog12345 Where did you buy it from? That is very strange!

i didn’t get any cutters! ah damn

@fordairport If you’ve made pasta using eggs (with normal or v. fine type zero flour), I don’t worry about drying as the end product isn’t very wet. If just using water and semolina, I find it can be helpful, but not essential.

@abugataz Erm, sorry? Not sure I understand Soto

@pianogooroo Hmmm… can’t say I’ve ever seen any. I would be able to make one huge tagliatelle by sticking several together (so I guess you might do the same with spaghetti), but cooking it without breaking it could be a nightmare!

very good machines need to send me a proforma detailed price and features I found in Peru
will be greatly appreciated

I’m wondering about an extra long spaghetti noodle. My goal is to mimic the lady and Tramp dish and make a dish for two out of one noodle. Anybody know how to make one, or even better, where I can buy some EXTRA long spaghetti?

The g in tagliatelli is silent. Think of it as talyiatelli.
fordairport

quick question do you have to let the noodles dry before boiling? If not will they become soggy?

nice, i wanted one of these for Christmas but i forgot to ask for it lol any way i make fresh pasta by hand and looking at that it would save way longer than 5-10 mins. I spend about 15 mins just rolling the pasta out and normally my hands are pummelled as you have to press pretty hard to get it thin the way i like it. + hand cutting is a pain and you’ve sold me on it i have to own one lol.

Thanks for the video.

Great thanks – exactly what I’m needing, I’m just away to try using mine for the first time! Hopefully my dough will be as firm as yours!
