We inherited a pasta maker and I finally got the courage to try it out. Part of my hesitation had been that it needed to be cleaned and I wasn't sure how to go about doing that. I did some online research and then took some of the ideas from that to clean it.
To clean it I ended up using a damp paper towel that I dampened with warm water and vinegar. I wiped the pasta maker down and ran the paper towel through it too.
I got Bob's Red Mill semolina flour and used the recipe on the bag as a guide. The other recipes I've seen gave a little different instructions so I combined the two…
Instead of making the dough on a flat surface I made it in a low bowl in case the egg mixture wouldn't stay in the well of flour, which was the case
Put
1 1/2 cups flour and make a well in the middle
to the well add
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons water
Mix the liquids with a fork then mix into flour by hand
Add 1/2 teaspoon salt
once dough is mixed and holding together, turn it out on to a board to kneed for 10 minutes
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes
On a lightly floured board roll out the dough
Then put the dough through the flat pasta roller
Next put the sheets of dough through the desired pasta setting
Enjoy!
