pasta machine
For this years Year 11 Food Technology coursework, we were assigned to design and create a fresh pasta dish. Because of this coursework, I decided to buy myself a second hand pasta maker machine to practice how to make fresh pasta and practice doing pasta dishes at home.The pasta machine only cuts 3 pasta shapes: tagliatelle, spaghetti and ravioli. I think that this is the perfect machine for me as I am just a beginner and if it would've cut more than 3 or 4 shapes, I would've found it extremely difficult and confusing but of course I wouldn't mind one that cuts a lot later on when I am definitely familiar with the machine.
I haven't used the machine just yet but I have tested it by rolling the handle and I found out that the handle jerks at the first 4 widest settings and I dont know why but I hope that when a pasta dough runs past it, it will work alright.
A pasta machine book also came with the item when I bought it and this I hope will guide me and help me with my first pasta dishes.
The machine should help me produce a good pasta dish at the end of Year 11 after I have practiced making dishes with it and since its the reason why I bought it in the first place.
