Who said that only Italians could make great pasta dishes? If you enjoy cooking pasta, you will love using a pasta machine with an electric motor. Your pasta will be fresh every time you make it and you will be surprised at the difference in the taste. One thing you do want to be careful about; and that is not to buy a cheap machine that will clog up if you add a little too much flower. Buying good quality in anything you buy will pay off in the long run. This is in course speaking of an electric machine.
By doing a little research you should be able to find a good brand name. A company that has been around for a long time and has a good reputation of producing quality machines is key. Most pasta companies carry both the manual and electric models but the price of the electric models makes it very affordable. It may not be the price that is most important in every case. Many people might enjoy making pasta the old fashion way by kneading their own dough, turning the handle, and watching those beautiful noodles churn out. If time is an issue, the electric pasta maker will win hands down every time. The manual machines run about eighty dollars while the electric machines are around one hundred ninety dollars, for those who are more concerned about money.
Recipes can be found easily by doing a Google search, but a simple recipe includes flour, eggs and salt. Working with these ingredients using a fork until you can no longer stir the mixture is the first step. Then you would need to work with the flour by hand before feeding it into the machine. This is just a simply recipe and I am sure you have your own and most pasta machines come with recipes as well. The ladies at my church have created a recipe book and one of our Italian ladies has a great pasta recipe in the book.
You might be surprised to know that many professional chefs us electric pasta machines, but they have fast become a very common house hold product. Children love to watch Moms work with the dough and then feed it into the machines and be amazed as it comes out. One of many nice features of some electric pasta machines is the ability to change the thickness of the dough sheet. You can make round or flat noodles and you can also control the noodle size by rotating the dial for a total of nine different positions. The children enjoy challenging Moms to make different shapes and sizes. Both children and adults love the homemade pasta because it is so fresh.
If you are in the market for and electric pasta machine, be prepared to entertain the family as you prepare delicious pasta meals.
