Using a household pasta maker involves a few simple steps to produce fresh pasta. The process typically starts with preparing the dough using basic ingredients like flour, eggs, and water.

Once the dough is ready, it is divided into portions for easier handling. In a manual pasta maker, the dough is passed through adjustable rollers to flatten it gradually. After reaching the desired thickness, the dough is cut into specific shapes using the machine’s cutting attachments.

Electric models automate much of the process. Users simply add the prepared dough to the machine, which kneads, extrudes, and cuts it into pasta.

After cutting, the pasta can be cooked immediately or dried for later use. Regular cleaning of the machine helps maintain its functionality and prevents dough buildup.
