Yes. Get an Atlas 150 and actually learn to cook.

yes
you dont need a machine to make pasta and extrusion machines can be a bitch to clean

pasta rollers are kinda nice though, but it's still quite doable with just a rolling pin and a knife

I got one as a gift. Ive used it way more than I thought I would. Clean up isnt that hard and Ive had fun putting weird shit like squid ink and whatnot into different pastas.

I got one of those last week. Picked it up on Amazon when it was on sale for $40. Life changing machine, highly recommend it.

>>13344683

Stop having fun cooking and using appliances.

The only real way to make pasta is to kneed it between your asscheeks

>>13344683
thanks anon this is what i need to hear definitely going to pick one up
>>13344670
i know how to cook i just dont want to spend an entire afternoon making pasta

>>13344687
Yeah, you actually learn how to roll pasta.

Homemade Pasta Recipe
Yield: 1 1/4 lbs dough
Prep Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients:
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour, sifted (plus extra flour for preparing)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 2 Tablespoons water
Directions:
1. Place eggs, water, flour and salt in mixer bowl. Attached bowl and flat beater. Turn to speed 2 and mix for 30 to 60 seconds. Add more water if the dough is too dry, in 1/2 Tablespoon increments.
2. Change out the flat beater for the dough hook. Turn to speed 2 and knead for 2 minutes. Remove the dough and knead by hand for 2 minutes. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
3. Cut dough into four pieces before processing with pasta sheet attachment. Take one piece and flatten into a rectangular shape. Adding flour to both sides. Be sure to cover the other pieces. Attach the pasta sheet roller to your stand mixer and set it to #1. Turn on the stand mixer to speed 2 and run the pasta dough through the pasta sheet roller. While on #1, fold the dough in half and run it through again. I do this several times.
4. Adding a little bit of flour on each side of the dough again, change setting to #2 and pass the pasta dough through the sheet roller. I do this twice and then twice each on #3 and then #4. If you want thicker dough, don't do the #4 setting.
5. Once again, add flour to each side of your long pasta sheet. Change the attachment to your spaghetti or fettuccine cutter and turn on to speed 2. Run the pasta sheet through and with your left hand, hold on to the pasta as it comes through the cutter. It's usually really long so I cut it and then wind it around my hand to create a nest. Allow pasta to dry for a few minutes before boiling.
6. When boiling your pasta, it only needs 3 to 7 minutes to boil.
7. With this pasta recipe, I prefer the fettuccine cutter.

That's the one I use. Fuck Semolina.

speaking of making pasta i want to infuse my pasta dough with thc would that be possible through a butter dose or would that just make the noodles fall apart in the boiling water

>>13344709

Not sure how your EZ bake pasta machine works, but it really seem like you're barking up the wrong tree. Why not just buy dollar pasta?

>>13344718
boil the pasta in THC water

Imagine being such an autistic fucking faggot you cut your pasta noodles by hand. It's
a complete waste of both time and effort; it's not gonna make the dish taste any different than if you used machine cut pasta noodles.

>Not making dough by creating an egg well within the flour to gradually mix together
>Using a mixer
>Not doing a 50/50 blend of all purpose and semolina for maximum dough quality and texture
>Only kneading for 2 minutes

>>13344742
You seem suicidal with that level of troll. Don't make anything yourself.. let mommy make it. Imagine if I told you to make your own pesto. Holy shit.

>>13344683
what extruder bits does it come with
how much dough fits into it at a time
hows the build quality on it
do you ever hear popping sounds
i've mostly dealt with commercial or industrial extrusion machines so I'm curious how well the consumer models can hold up

>>13344742
imagine buying a specialized device to produce small amounts of something you can already make without any extra equipment
if op wants to eat pasta all the time its a fine buy but most people wouldn't use it that much after buying it

>>13344750
You down own any appliances.. do you? Do you have electricity?

>>13344742
its about texture taste and infusions

What's the difference in flavor between homemade pasta and dried pasta.

>>13344742

>>13344772
Biggest difference is in texture and richness. You'll genuinely notice a bigger difference in noodle taste if you actually season your pasta water like you're supposed to.

>>13344757
I have the appliances I need for the stuff I'm making. I'm making pasta, not baking a fuckin cake.

>what extruder bits does it come with
These

>how much dough fits into it at a time
It produces at once up to 21oz/600g of pasta

>hows the build quality on it
Ive never had another one but the plastic and metal feel very solid. Id feel safe hurling one of the attachments across the room

>do you ever hear popping sounds
Never

>i've mostly dealt with commercial or industrial extrusion machines so I'm curious how well the consumer models can hold up

Again, no clue how it compares to what you know but for it being a gift and actually having had roughly 4 years of use I think its solid.

>>13344812
>only 1 is a tube style
>no spirals
thats a shame
basically the only reason to get an extruder in my mind
noodles are the easiest ones to do by hand

that spiral wormscrew doesnt look the worst but is obviously cast, but decent quality cast so hopefully it keeps serving you well

>>13344666
Remember to get the best pasta shaper of them all, OP

>>13344683

how do you make nice noodles with no machine
Mine come out all different sizes and aren't nice and round

>>13347912
You go full autism and pratice that shit or you use a pasta roller

my juicer makes pasta

>>13348595

"making pasta" isn't jerking off on mac and cheese. Put your 'juicer' away.

>>13348615
weird fantasy projection

>>13348623

I only jerk off into pesto. Cmon man. Amp up your pseudo-psychologist game.

>>13344678
Shut up leaf

>HURR MAKE IT FROM SCRATCH, IDIOT
>uses a mixer
>uses a pasta roller
Yikes yikes yikes!

>>13348739
Well, Wilma. I don't have your stone age tools. Scratch is from ingredients you stupid cunt. I've made everything "BY HAND" now make them from SCRATCH. Savvy? I swear 50% of /ck/ is learning disabled.

>>13348739

Did you figure out your reading comprehension disparity yet? One word means one thing, another word means another. 4th grade to 6th grade.

>>13348735
It's true but semolina pasta is kind of tough to roll out. It's doable, but I'd rather use a machine.

>>13344666
a richlet maybe

i dont hate on people wanting easier ways to make pasta. these auto roller/cutters tend to be a kings ransom tho

>>13349877

semolina is sandpapery shit. Get a real flour. I'd rather shove that shit up my urethra than bake with it.

I know most of you people are dumb assholes, but all you need is a good pasta roller. You probably read at a 7th grade level but you can probably figure out how to roll pasta dough.

>>13344666
can those make ravioli? I'd go with a pasta roller if not. I've only used my family's and it was a pain to use. I heard the automatic pasta rollers make it a lot less effort making it alone since you don't have to crank the machine.

>>13350068
Once it's fully cooked, it's great. It's harder to work with than all-purpose, and generally I've seen recommendations to do half and half mixtures. But the all semolina pasta I made tasted great after fully cooked, which took longer in the boiling water than only all-purpose. I think a mix if the two would come out great. Part of the point of semolina is that it's larger granules and higher protein than typical flour. But my all-purpose is quite high protein except very finely ground. It made nice pasta, but I think a mixture would be better.

>>13350080

they can't.

>>13350080
You can make it all even without a machine, especially ravioli. But I'd really recommend a manual roller for sheets of pasta.

>>13350089

It's great working with shit that doesn't taste any better in the end. Good work and I applaud you for your time.

>>13350097

get a fucking bubinga stick out and start rolling.

>>13344718
Get like 6 beets and some water and cook it down to ~1 1/2 cup and blend it together with the rosin/oil/whatever you have. Mix in with dough during preparation.

>>13350105
I really felt the semolina pasta tasted better side by side as well as being more satisfying and filling. If you don't, then don't buy it. My current all-purpose flour (from Sprouts but not sure of brand) is very high protein and does a decent job for pasta. With a machine, it's not any more difficult. I don't have my own yet but have made it on manual rolling machines. It's so much better that I will get one even though I tend to be against extra tools/appliances/etc with limited use.
>>13350117
I'm partway moving, so I'm not buying/acquiring (even for free) anything until a move. My rolling pi sucks, but I think a traditional European one would make things easier. I'm still just going to get a pasta roller machine thing though.

>>13344666
Just use dried durum wheat pasta. "Fresh" pasta is a meme.

>>13344666
just get a roller
fuck spaghetti

>>13344765
>does it directly on top of the counter
Gross and EW!

>>13350641

Yeah, you can never wash and disinfect that shit, right? You live in a southern state, right?

>>13350641
Sorry, I just mean a surface that your sister or daughter is probably raped against. You know?

Oh boy, did you cum on a countertop without using cleaning vinegar to remove your shame drippings? You bastard.
