pasta machine

Noodle-making device

A pasta machine is a device for rolling and cutting fresh pasta dough into sheets or shapes.

The classic hand-cranked version clamps to a countertop and passes dough through adjustable rollers to achieve uniform thickness, with attachments for cutting fettuccine or spaghetti.

Electric versions automate the process: She ran the dough through the pasta machine until it was thin enough for ravioli.
