| | |  | Pasta Machine | Home » » The Pasta Machine Cookbook | | | | | | | Product Promotions: | | | | | Description: | | The Pasta Machine Cookbook is a major revision of the first cookbook to focus on the pasta itself, rather than the sauces to go with it. It's full of new, improved recipes for both hand-cranked and electric pasta machines. Home-made pasta is quick, easy, and a delicious improvement over store-bought pasta. Pasta has fewer calories and carbs—and more protein—than rice or potatoes. All the recipes here are written for hand-cranked and electric machines. The Pasta Machine Cookbook includes sections on different types of pasta; hints on the machines, cooking, and serving; and a section on sauces, toppings, and fillings. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

 Great Pasta Dough CookbookMay 12, 2010
I really love this book, I had a copy from years ago, it got lost in a move and I just purchased another copy, yes, it's that good.
I have not found another pasta recipe book like it (and I have looked high and low). This has the basics on pasta doughs (just flour and water) to pastas made from things you wouldn't have ever thought of, that doesn't mean you will not make these other doughs, these are recipes you will be willing to try. I like that it shows side by side, the variations you need if you are making dough with a machine or by hand, those little differences matter. The recipes are well laid out and easy to follow.
There are also sauce recipes, but for me, the pasta dough recipes are the main reason why I purchased this book (twice). If you are looking for a comprehensive and simple to follow pasta dough recipe book, this is the one to have.
This will be your go-to book for making pasta dough.
DEFINATELY RECOMMENDSep 16, 2009
Hi,
I work for CucinaPro and when I'm talking to the actual users of our pasta machines, I ALWAYS recommend this book.
It's great and has a lot more than just tomato sauce and noodles. And it also has recipes for extruder and roller machines. They need different levels of moisture.
I love this book.

Must-have book if you are a pasta dummyJun 21, 2009
I had never made pasta before and ordered this book along with the Roma 6 inch Traditional Style Pasta Machine. If you have a lot of experience with pasta making, don't buy this book. But if you are a novice at this (and I was), get this book and the Roma pasta maker. Book seems to be written for this machine.
Well written book. Sort of a dummy's guide. Tells you EVERYTHING you need to know plus beau coup recipes. Very nice. I am happy.
 The New Pasta Machine CookbookMay 14, 2009
The receipes I have tried are good; but I wish it contained more Italian noodle receipes

Nice guide for pasta machinesMar 24, 2009
I have an Atlas 150 with a ravioli attachment, and the instructions that came with the machine are minimal. Every time I wanted to make pasta, I had to find recipes on the internet. I like to use whole grains. This book gives plenty of basic and non-basic recipes, and the proportions make it easy to double (or even triple). It's nice to not have to go to the internet for recipes anymore.
There are only a few basic sauces, but from someone who only sees recipes as guidelines, I think they make nice quick references.
Overall, a must have recipe book for pasta machines. I think they should come with this book! I'm getting one for mom :)
