RECIPES FOR THE DOUGH WILL FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS. THESE

INSTRUCTIONS START WITH FULLY MIXED DOUGH, READY TO BE USED.

STEP 1: ROLLING THE DOUGH

1. Follow assembly instructions and insert the

Handle into the Roller Drive Hole.

2. Locate the

Regulator Knob on the left side of the Pasta Machine. The Regulator

Knob is numbered 1-7. The number 1 setting is the narrowest setting; the number 7

is the widest setting for the

Rollers. To adjust the Regulator Knob, pull out on the

Knob and turn it to the desired setting. As you turn the Regulator Knob you will be

able to see the

Rollers moving closer together or further apart.

3. Lightly flour your work space.

4. With the

Regulator Knob in the 7 position, turn the Handle clockwise while

feeding a piece of dough into the

Rollers. Once the dough has gone through the

Rollers lightly flour it, fold it in half and run it through the Rollers again. Repeat this

process several times: lightly flour, fold in half, run through

Rollers.

5. As the dough exits the

Rollers, it will get longer with each pass. Lay the strip of

dough out flat on your work space.

6. Now set

Regulator Knob to the “6” position. Run the dough through the Rollers.

Repeat this process several times, each time setting the

Regulator Knob to the next

setting until the dough reaches the thickness you desire. If the sheet gets too long to

manage, simply cut it with a knife.

7. After reaching the desired thickness, leave the sheet to rest for about 10 minutes

so that it will dry slightly and be hard enough for cutting, without sticking to the

Cutting Rollers.

STEP 2: CUTTING THE PASTA

1. Slide the

Handle out of the

Roller Drive Hole and into

the

Drive Hole of the Cutter

Attachment to be used.
2. Cut a piece of rolled out

dough long enough to be easily

handled.

3. Lightly flour the sheet to

prevent it from sticking to the

Cutters.
4. While slowly turning the

Handle, carefully start the dough into the Cutter

Attachment.
5. As the cut noodles exit the machine, continue to carefully guide the dough into the

Pasta Machine while slowly turning the Handle.
6. Lay your freshly cut noodles out on a lightly floured surface or on a drying rack to dry

before cooking.

RAVIOLI

Half Moon Ravioli Additional Accessory Part # 01-0208

Square Ravioli Additional Accessory Part # 01-0209

PLEASE NOTE: Ravioli Maker does not work with the Motor Attachment.

The Ravioli Maker attachments produce evenly sized and shaped

ravioli. You can make them using many different fillings. The

most popular are meat and cheese but the possibilities are

endless.
. Begin by preparing the filling of your preference. It should

be rather soft to allow the pasta sheets to conform the filling

without breaking.

. Attach the Ravioli Maker attachment to the pasta machine in

the same manner as the other pasta attachments. Make sure

the machine is well fastened to the table or counter. Attach the

handle to the Ravioli Maker.

. Prepare a pasta sheet to the desired thickness. Dust lightly

with flour. Let the pasta sheet rest until it is slightly dry.

. Trim the sheet to the proper width with the wheel cutter.

. Divide the sheet in two. This will give you two sheets of the same width and length.

. Place the two sheets on the wooden rollers of the hopper and turn the handle slowly, making

sure both sheets are being pulled into the hopper. Test a short length to make sure the dough

sticks together (if the sheets do not stick, lightly brush with an egg wash, if using a non-egg

dough, use water).

. Spoon the filling in between the two layers of pasta into the cavities of the Ravioli Maker

attachment. Do not place filling between the cavities or the sheets of pasta will not seal

properly. Be careful not to put too much in, you want the pasta sheets to close around the

filling without compressing it.

. Turn the handle slowly in a clockwise direction to seal the first row of ravioli. If the ravioli

break, add less filling; if they seem flat or too empty add a little more filling.

. Allow the Ravioli to dry slightly before cutting them apart.

. Boil ravioli in plenty of salted water for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. After tasting to make

sure they are adequately cooked, remove from the heat and drain.
