can you use it for straight edge lasagna noodles. Also what is the thinest setting? Thank you!

This pasta machine rolls flat dough with 9 thickness settings from 0.5 mm to 3 mm. The rollers are 150 mm (5.5 in.) wide, the standard width of a pasta machine. Once you roll out your dough to the desired thickness, you can cut the sheet in half lengthwise to make strips for lasagna. The two cutters that come with the machine are for fettuccine and spaghetti, much thinner cuts than typical lasagna.

makes straight edge noodles before it gets cut down into smaller noodles, so yes. thinnest setting is 9.

I have made pasta with it. The noodles are kind of thick (I tried the spaghetti and fettucini nozzles) but I love homemade noodles! I have done shaved ice for snow cones too. No problems with it at all. I have not tried amy nut butters or anything with it though.

I used the standard flat roller to roll out the dough after letting it rest. As for the ravioli maker, personally, it didn't work really well with the fillings I enjoy. I returned it. Good luck.

I've never tried, so my answer might not be what you are looking for. In any case, you can do flat sheets without any problems. So from that point of view, yes. But I just don't know how you would get the curly sides done (or how any pasta machine would get that done for you). You might just need to do the curling by hand. Similar to how one makes Chinese dumplings, by curling the edges by hand.

I agree. Small gaps are not a big problem and you can limit the gaps on the edges by increasing the gaps in the middle. 1/4" gaps are not going to hurt the end result. Excuse my repeating myself, but the MOST important thing is to make sure you have some liquid on the top layer of noodles, even if you have to dilute the sauce a bid.

No. It makes flat noodles. They are between ⅛ and ¼ in width. My attachment rollers do not does line up correctly and does not cut correctly. I get a ½ in wide flat noodle with a seam going down the middle. I am not impressed or happy with it.

I can slice the vegetables very thin, but as far as using it for pasta, it just won't work.... Haha... No, I have made lasagne by making cucumber and zucchini into thin strip and using it as pasta. This works very well for that recipe.

I make lasagna with two layers of noodles and then alternate with the cheese and meat twice.The pan is quite deep.. I really like the pan.. Cleans really easy too. Y

Yes, you can also adjust the thickness of the lasagna but you have the cut it yourself, there is no lasagna roller.

One of the noodles is kind of square, but I would not call it linguine. I think you have to kind of think outside the box on this. I would definitely feel confident using the thicker of the noodles with any recipe calling for linguine style noodles. I happen to cook a lot of Italian and these vegetable alternatives work nicely as a substitue for many traditional dishes. I really hope this helps you. ~j

I like mine better....the bottom (the plate with the holes in it) does not come out on mine, which makes it more sturdy and easier to use. I had one where the plate was removeable, and it caused me all kinds of grief. It liked to come up when I would lift the handle while pressing to get better noodle consistency. Sometimes the dough would spurt out around the edges. I am not saying this one does that, but in my opinion, the single piece is the best way to go. You can also avoid losing the plate if it's fixed in place.

Using the pasta attachment allows you to keep the thickness uniform. Might not turn out that way with a rolling pin.

I don't like it because it is hard to clean. I only use it to make noodle, but it seems to me it can press pasta that thin.

yes, I have used the roller without cutting the pasta in strips for lasagna or ravioli. Cutting the pasta is a two step process, first you use the rollers until the pasta is at the thickness you want and then you can use the cutter, but you don't have to.

No, it wouldn't work, it will "rice" potatoes or eggs, but they come out so short/small/fine, noodles wouldn't stay together, better off with pasta maker

The pasta roller does the lasagna type noodles , the other roller cuts the dough in maybe 1/4 inch strips. or less. I have only used it for making crackers so far, but it does a wonderful job on those.. just thin enough to be crispy!.If the fettuccine is a bit wider than spaghetti -- then yes, this does cut that size too. I may actually do that this weekend.

You can make different thicknesses of pasta from 1/16" up to 1/4". The width is around 6", but you can work your dough several times to make long batches, or simply work in small batches. I try to work 6-8 oz. Batches at a time. Depends on the pasta shape I am trying to make. When making ravioli, I roll out real long sheets and start on no. 7 setting. I run through twice on each number, going thinner in size skipping every other no. setting until I get to thickness desired. I usually end on setting 3 for all my pasta, or 2 for spaghetti.
