Pasta of scratch is not difficult. It requires a handful of ingredients (usually flour, water, water, salt, and maybe eggs), slightly counter space and elbow grease and a reliable icon roller. (I'm a big fan of the Atlas 150 pasta car.) But what if I told you a car that you can simplify that process even more by doing everything: mixing your dough And Turns it in noodles? To be open, I was skeptical first – I am not usually the first to adopt the new gadget, where tried-and-true methods have worked just good. This car, however, had we sing a new tune. Enter the all-in-one Marked electric pasta machinesAlso known as the pasta Fresca. Making pasta from scratch exactly that much easier!

As the Marcato Electric Pasta Machine Work
Pasta recipes typically call for you to mix the dough By handOr for greater ease, In a food processor. The Morcatok Electric Macarona machine simplifies that process, so you just have to add your ingredients, press a button to mix and be rewarded. You use the same machine to move on the dough into noodles (more on the below).
A specially shaped roller-volonigially shaped the mixing well rotates to both mix your pasta dough and knead it until it is smooth and bouncy. The medication eliminates all the work of mixing and needing by hand, which can be tiring and take up upwards from 10 minutes. (This may be especially useful if there are Limits to the amount of needing you can physically.) It also does it quickly, released you for other tasks, like preparing a sauce for your pasta. (I recommend the gorgonzola cream sauce from Our Patato Gocchi Recipe.) Once the dough has finished kneeling, remove it from the mixing sound. If you find that some dough is lodged at the bottom, you can close the lid and use the “pulse” button on the top and allows it to the top and allows it to the top and allows you to capture it easily.
Once the car, the dough usually requires only a few seconds (not minutes!) From needing by hand to bring together separate clumps in a single mass together. From there, simply wrap the dough tightly and allow it to rest according to the time indicated in your recipe. Resting relaxes the Gluten What forms during the kneading process, allowing you to later roll and form the dough without it snapping back.

Types of pasta you can make with this car
With your dough properly rested, it's time to set your pasta maker back to work for rolling and shaping. The machine comes with three noodle attachments: Lasagna, Fethtukfine, and Taglyolini. Start with the Lazagie attachment, which has a thickness dial that goes from decreased to tinest, allowing you to turn your dough into delicate noodles. From there, you can leave the noodles wide and layer them in a lasagna or turn them into Ravioli. Alternatively, you can swap in one of the other attachments to turn the broad noodles in thinner strands of thedchin or taglyolini.
But here is the real game changer, and my favorite feature of this pasta pasta plant. Because the car is electric, the attachment rollers become automatically, instead of having to manually turn a hand crank when you feed the pasta dough by the car. I have much love for the Atlas 150, but free both hands for feeding the dough into and out of the car (and no longer have to juggle between the two tasks And Krunking the handle) is what truly apped my pasta game. If you find that rolling pasta is easier than a two-person work, consider this appliance your new safe chef. Now you can (quite literally!) Roll through some pasta noodles with ease and speed, which can also turn homemaid pasta from a weekest meal option.

Tips for Success
I make a beautiful amount of pasta in the test kitchen these days, and the pasta Fresca became my new walk-to tool for quickly pasta production. Here are my tips for the best best of your new toy.
Keep it clean: As any appliance, this work best when well maintained. First, turn off and tap the car. Leave no small bits of dough left in the mixing sound after needing to dry up. You can easily flick them off and brush them off. The lid comes completely off by turning it upside down, which makes it easy to access to the mixing sound and clean the cover itself.
Skip the dishwasher Avoid any temptation to clean the pasta Fresca attachments in the dishwasher or otherwise submerge them in water. Prevent rust and damage to the internal parts by a Brush Or dry cloth to wipe off the dough that could be clinging to the attachments. In addition to the instruction books that comes with the car, check our Tips for cleaning the atlas 150Which applies to the pasta Fresca too.
Make more than just pasta: The mixing function of this car is not limited to pasta dough; It can also mix bread, pizza and cookie types. In addition to a basic Macarona recipe, the instruction leaflet that comes with the car offers recipes for pizza, bread and even biscuits. It makes easy job of our Classic Chocolate Chip cookies Recipe (I know because I've tried it!), And the results are the same as if I had made them with the hand or in a stone mixer. Simply add the ingredients in the order indicated in the recipe.
For the elimination of hand-cranking alone, the Mira Electric Pasta Machine is, in my opinion, a value investment. But the fact that I can use it to make non-Macara Recipes, is a huge bonus, so it is not just a single-use appliance. Add in the savings of time, space and energy that come with this all-in-one car, and any home cook can benefit from owning the pasta FrESSA, whether they are a well practiced pascoatolo.
