Method

  1. Place the ‘00’ flour and salt in the Kenwood Bowl. Add the eggs and sunflower or olive oil and, using the K Beater, mix on minimum speed or speed 1 for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs but is slightly moist.
  2. Fit the Pasta Maker with the preferred screen: Spaghetti, Tagliatelle, Macaroni, Lasagne or Rigatoni and, with the machine running on speed 2–3, drop small amounts of pasta dough mix into the feed tube. Leave to clear. Do not over-fill.
  3. Cut the pasta at preferred lengths (short for macaroni and rigatoni; long for spaghetti and tagliatelle.) Leave to dry for 30 minutes or allow to dry completely, before cooking.
