| This is a photo of my mother in-law Rose's pasta machine, she's had this forever and passed it on to my wife. It's a wonderful machine that helps you make Ravioli noodles as well as Lasagna, Fettucini, Spaghetti and more :-) Lovely machine! |
|
|
| Here is a nice side view of the machine attached to my kitchen table. Redo for the dough! You can see three slots on top. The left helps you make large flat noodles, middle is for Fettucini and far right is for Spaghetti. Great machine, you need one. Can find this particular machine anywhere but there is a nice one here. |

| Here we have all the goodies you need to make a nice home-made pasta that you could use for several different types of pasta. In this case, we are going to make Raviolis. |
|
|
| This is a photo of everything you need to make the Raviolis: pasta and the filling. |

|
| You will need a nice "clean" counter to work with. The proper way to make home-made pasta is right on the counter. |
|
|
| When you scoop up the flour, be sure not to pack it. Keep it nice and fluffy.. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The use the back of a butter knife to scrape off the excess. This will help to get a perfect measure for the cup. |
|
|
| Pour the flour right onto the counter. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
| After you have poured out all the flour, you then will need to make a well. Think of it as a nice little nest for the eggs :-). |
|
|
| Then drop some eggs in a bowl... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| ...and lightly beat them.... |
|
|
| ...then pour them into the well you made in the flour.. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| After you have poured in the eggs you will want to slowly push flour up on top of the eggs. |
|
|
| Keep add more flour on top of the eggs while pushing flour into the eggs. It's going to get messy from this point on out but that's OK. Just get messy!. |
|

|
|
|
|
| Now you will want to start working with the flour and egg trying to mix it together well.. The goal is to have a nice elastic ball of pasta dough when you're done. At this point, you still have a very long way to go. Be patient. |
|
|
| At this point some of the egg/flour mix will stick to the counter. Just scrape it off the counter as best you can to keep mixing together.. |
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Keep working with it. This is going to take a while, be patient and just keep working with it. |
|
|
| ..add in your salt and keep working with the dough. |
