Using the Pasta Sheet Roller
and Pasta Cutters
1. Prepare pasta dough (see “Tips for
Perfect Pasta.”) Cut dough into pieces
about
3
/8" (1 cm) thick. Flatten each
piece slightly.
2. Set adjustment knob on Pasta Sheet
Roller at 1 by pulling the knob straight
out and turning to setting 1. Release
knob, making certain pin on roller
housing engages opening on the back
of the knob, allowing the knob to fit
flush to the roller housing.
3. Turn mixer to Speed 2 or 4. Feed
flattened piece of dough into rollers
to knead. Fold dough in half and roll
again. Repeat folding and kneading
process several times, until dough is
smooth and pliable and covers the
width of the roller. Lightly dust pasta
with flour while rolling and cutting to
aid in drying and separation. Knead
and fold each piece of dough in the
same manner.
4. Move adjustment knob to setting 2.
Feed dough through rollers to further
flatten. Change to setting 3 and
feed dough through rollers again.
Continue to increase roller setting until
desired dough thickness is reached.
See “Suggested Roller Settings” to
determine the correct thickness for
each type of pasta. Do not fold dough
on setting 2 or higher.
5. To make Angel-Hair or thick egg
noodles, exchange Pasta Sheet Roller
for Pasta Cutter attachment. Feed
flattened sheets of dough through
cutter. Cut pasta can be cooked
immediately or frozen or dried for later
use. See “Tips for Perfect Pasta” for
information on freezing and drying.
NOTE: After you finish using your Pasta Sheet
Roller and Pasta Cutter attachments, replace
hub cover and tighten attachment knob.
