PRIMA PASTA MACHINE INSTRUCTION MANUAL
PREPARING THE MACHINE
FOR FIRST USE
Unpack the pasta machine and all parts
and remove all packaging material before
preparing to use the pasta machine for the
rst time.
Prior to rst use, wipe down the machine
with a damp cloth. Once you have prepared
your dough, feed a small quantity through
the rollers a few times to clean, ensuring you
dispose of the dough afterwards.
PASTA DOUGH RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
• 12 large egg yolks
• 400g tipo ‘OO’ our
• Flour for dusting
• 75g ne semolina
• 2 tablespoons extra
virgin olive oil
Serves 4.
For best results, use room
temperature free range
eggs.
1. Place the our and
semolina in a bowl, make
a well in the centre and
add the egg yolks, olive
oil and 4 tablespoons of
cold water. Beat the wet
ingredients lightly with a
fork to mix, then slowly
incorporate the our into
the eggs a little at a time
until you have a soft
dough.
2. Dust your bench with
our and knead the
dough with your hands for
approximately 4 minutes to
develop the gluten in the
our. If the dough is too
dry, add a small amount of
water. If the dough is too
wet, add a small amount of
our.
3. Once the dough is
smooth and elastic, shape
into a ball and wrap with
cling wrap. Rest at room
temperature for half an
hour prior to use.

PRIMA PASTA MACHINE INSTRUCTION MANUAL
• Secure the pasta machine to a clean, at
work surface by attaching the bench clamp
to the machine using the mounting hole at
the base of the unit. Turn the screw to x
the machine in place.
• Insert the detachable crank handle into
the hole adjacent to the dough rollers.
• Pull out the thickness adjustment
setting dial and set on position number
7 - this is the widest setting. Cut the rested
pasta dough into two equal portions and
shape into a at disc the same width as the
rollers.
• Feed the pasta dough through the
rollers by turning the hand crank in a
clockwise direction. Fold the dough in half
end to end to form a rectangle and feed
through the rollers again.
• Repeat 3-4 times until the pasta dough
has a consistent thickness and texture.
• Set the thickness adjustment dial on
position number 6 and feed the dough
through the rollers.
• Set the thickness adjustment dial on
position number 5 and feed the dough the
rollers. Continue to feed the dough through
the rollers until the desired thickness is
achieved. The thinnest pasta sheet can be
achieved by setting the machine on no
1 (approximately 0.5mm thickness) and
feeding the dough through the machine
twice.
• Once you have reached the desired
thickness, cut the dough into the desired
length.
• Lightly dust the dough with our to
prevent sticking.
• Remove the crank handle from the roller
position. Attach the cutting head to the
pasta machine by aligning the interlocking
guides at the back of the unit. Push down
rmly to lock into place. Insert the hand
crank into the hole which corresponds to
the 1.5mm tagliolini or 6.6mm fettuccine
cutting head.
• Feed the pasta dough through the
chosen cutting head in batches whilst
turning the hand crank in a clockwise
direction.
• Dust the pasta lightly with our to
prevent sticking and cover with a damp tea
towel prior to cooking.
Notes: If the cutting head cannot cut
the pasta, the dough may be too
soft. Knead the dough
with your hands, add a
small quantity of
our and feed
through the
smooth rollers again.
If you nd the pasta
is too dry and brittle,
knead the dough into
a ball and add a little
water. Feed the dough through the
smooth rollers again.

COOKING FRESH PASTA
• Once the pasta is ready to be cooked, bring a large pot
of salted water to the boil.
• Add the fresh pasta and allow to cook for between 2
and 4 minutes, checking regularly.
• Stir gently to avoid sticking and drain once cooked.
Add your favourite sauce and enjoy!
MACHINE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Never wash the machine with water or in the dishwasher.
• After use, gently wipe down the machine with a dry
cloth. Brush the rollers with a pastry brush to remove
any our or dough residue.
• Never insert knives into the rollers.
ATTACHING THE CUTTER HEAD
Attach the cutter head to the pasta machine by aligning
the interlocking guides at the back of the pasta machine to
the cutter head. Push down rmly to lock into place.
To remove the cutting head, repeat the process in reverse.
