How much pasta does it make per hour?

It really depends on which pasta your making. Each one runs your Kitchenaid at a different speed and when you first get started you will most likely be a little slower because you will need to get used to making pasta with this attachment. This is a great investment if you like making all sorts of pasta. With time you'll get better and faster. I would say from mixing the ingredients all the way through making the pasta takes about 20 minutes for each batch. ( approximately 2 1/2 pounds)

It's not fast, but it is well built. I think one batch takes about 7 or 8 minutes to extrude.

My daughter wanted this and she has used it several times. I'm thinking that if I had the kitchen aid I would just get the attachment. But This machine does work good, especially for the money. It's kind of loud but it made good pasta. It's a little time consuming because you have to stand there and wait for the pasta to get the right length then cut it off with a knife. As I would assume you would have to do with most machines. Just depends on what you are looking for. We havent used it a lot so it's hard to give a good opinion on if you plan to make a lot of pasta. I'm definitely not unhappy with the purchase. Hope this helps. My daughter wanted this and she has used it several times. I'm thinking that if I had the kitchen aid I would just get the attachment.

I don't think you're adding enough water. Also, check pasta after cooking for minimum time and add a minute or two if still not cooked sufficiently. Additionally, let the pasta stay in cooker for a few more minutes before draining.

The Marcato 150 comes with a dual sided attachment for making Fettuccini or Spaghetti. There are other attachments available for Linguini, Vermicelli, (Thin Spaghetti), Cappelinni (Angel Hair). You can also make Lasagna or Ravioli. How long your noodles are is up to you. When you "roll out" the dough through the rollers, you start at 0 (rollers wide apart), then dial up the numbers until you get the thiness you need. The dough will get longer as you roll it out, so just cut the dough to the length you'd like. For Spaghetti or Fettuccini, I usually go to "7", skipping every other number. I have no problem keeping the rollers clean. The key to making great pasta is a dry dough; elastic, but not wet or sticky. You just lightly brush off the rollers, because the dough will not stick. If it does, let the dough dry, then it will brush off easily. Easy recipe for pasta dough: 2 cups Semolina flour 2 cups All Purpose flour 6 eggs 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil pinch of salt I let my bread machine do the work, but you can knead it.....the important thing is to wrap the dough in plastic, and let it rest for 30 minutes. Depending upon humidity, you may need to add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. Fresh pasta is WAY better than boxed, IMHO. I'm never quite sure what people mean by "macaroni", but if you mean a short, hollow noodle, this machine will not do that.

Yes, you can make all kinds of pasta in the pasta maker. It is the best invention ever! I don't know how I lived without it all these years! I put a whole bag or box of pasta in it with about 2 inches of water covering it and put the micro for 20 to 25 minutes and it's done. It's awesome because you don't have to stand around and stir it. And, it taste great! Don't think twice ... get it! :-)

The booklet that comes with the product will tell you how long to cook the pasta based on a box of pasta. We have our favorites so I always cook an entire box and have leftover pasta for another day. There are only two of us to cook for. The booklet is complete and I have found that cooking our pasta for an additional minute and waiting a minute before draining is the way we like it. It is a great product. Hope this helps.

Yes, very easy and foolproof. For each person you are feeding, you need 75 grams (gr.) all purpose flour, 25 gr. semolina flour (or total of 100 gr. all purpose flour), 1 egg, 1/2 tsp. olive oil, & dash of salt. Proportions are extremely important. 1. Sift flour. 2. On clean surface (large cutting board or counter), place flour and make a well. 3. Crack egg in well and add the olive oil. 4. Using clean hand, start mixing the egg/oil and grabbing flour in a circular motion until you have a ball. Using both hands knead dough until it has a smooth elastic texture (about 5 mins.). 5. Place kneaded dough on very lightly floured plate and cover. 6. Let rest for 30 minutes (this lets the gluten relax). 7. After 30 mins., lightly flour your pasta maker and set at 0. 8. Cut a wedge of dough, flatten and lightly flour. Start passing through pasta maker. For linguini, I go up to setting 8. I have used this recipe ever since I returned from Italy that I no longer use dried pasta. It takes about 10-15 mins. to measure, mix and knead. And about another 15 mins. to roll out pasta. Boil in salted water for 4-5 mins.

Pasta must be very dry: use 100gr of Flour per 1 medium Egg. Let it stay wrapped in plastic for half hour then use it...Plus: put a large plate under the machine and move it around while cutting the rigatoni....It works.Problem is with spaghetti, too thin...

This is the product recommended in the book, "Breaking the viscous cycle" she claims after a 24 hour ferment there is 700 billion cu's per cup. Pretty sure it just depends on how long you "cook" it. I do 24 hours.
