KitchenAid Pasta Press Demo

For Christmas I received the KitchenAid pasta press. I thought it would be great fun to open the package and proceed to make my first batch of macaroni, rigatoni, fusilli, and spaghetti as a video for everyone to see.

I am amazed at this KitchenAid accessory that comes with six different pasta presses. It is very easy to use. There is a handy cutter attached so you can efficiently make your pasta any desired length. Clean up is easy if you let the dough dry first and then use the nifty metal tool that comes with the press.

Be sure to view my next video where I turn this fresh pasta into cavitini, a pepperoni and ground beef casserole every family is sure to love.

You can use this fresh pasta in any recipe by substituting it for purchased dry pasta.


Basic Egg Noodle Pasta recipe from KitchenAid:
Four large eggs
3 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Water added to the eggs to equal 7/8 cup

Break the eggs into a glass measuring cup. Add enough water to equal 7/8 cup. Place flour and salt in stand mixer bowl. Attach the flat beater. Turn to Speed 2 and gradually add the eggs and water. Mix for 30 seconds. Stop the mixer and exchange the flat beater for the dough hook. Turn the mixer to Speed 2 and knead for two minutes.

Let the dough rest for 20 minutes. Hand knead until the deal is smooth, pliable and holds together in a ball.

Attach the KitchenAid pasta press to the KitchenAid stand mixer. Select the pasta plate to match the type of macaroni you would like to make. Form golf ball or walnut sized pieces of dough and place them into the housing unit that has been attached to the KitchenAid stand mixer. See the instruction booklet for the recommended mixer speed as it varies for the different pasta types.

Cook fresh pasta for 2-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the noodles.
