I inherited this pasta machine from a neighbor this week. Judging from the instructional booklet – I believe it dates back to the Truman administration. I always wanted a pasta machine, but a lack of storage space in my kitchen prevented me from purchasing one. So when this little gem dropped in my lap, I suddenly had dreams of hand cut fettuccine and glistening pans of meaty lasagna!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I mixed the dough in my Cuisinart, but you can do it in a stand mixer, or by hand.<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 cups all purpose flour<\/p>\n

1 cup Semolina<\/p>\n

4 eggs, room temperature<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Combine the ingredients, and knead with the palm of your hands for several minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest for an hour.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cut the dough into 6 pieces and flatten into a rectangle. With the pasta machine set to the widest setting, pass the dough through, fold in half, and pass it through again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Turn the machine’s knob to the next narrowest setting, fold dough in half and pass through. Repeat until you’ve reached your desired thickness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lasagna ready sheets!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, since this was my first time using the Imperia<\/strong>, I just HAD to try out the pasta cutter – I squealed when I saw the fettuccine!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dust the pasta with semolina to keep it from sticking.<\/p>\n

I have to say – this was so much fun to do, it was easier than I expected, and it went relatively quick for this first timer! I can’t wait to make it again, I definitely see a Lasagna Bolognese in my future!!!<\/p>\n
