Has anyone got any fav ingredients that they put into either one of these if they make homemade pasta. I have been given a pasta maker and would love to make some as my hubbie loves pasta. So a recipe for pasta.fillings and a sauce would be great. I have no idea on making home made stuff as i have never done it. Anything would be great :)

Left over roast chicken, some gravy some finely chopped onion and mushrooms fried off in a pan then into food processor with a few sage leaves whizz up to paste add extra gravy to get a moist mix season to taste and maybe a few chilli flakes. spoon into Ravioli circles (I cut them with a cup) drop into boiling water for 3 minutes. I serve with a bechamel sauce and some parmisan. A good way to use leftovers when there isn't quite enough for another meal on thier own.

Yeah you can hand roll it, just takes longer. Pumpkin ravioli. Mushroom ravioli. Standard spag bol filling in ravioli. There's loads of fillings if you google. Ravioli - parcels, Tortellini - when you fold them to make the fancier version. LOL.Also handy for making cannelloni - make sheets, lay out, put filling on and roll up and cut. And of course, lasagna. Buying a chook next week, 1 roast meal, 1 fried rice, and there'll still be enough to do a chicken and mushroom cannelloni or ravloli.

Awesome, thats how I started with pasta I wasn't a fan until I tried some fresh one day and liked it so I googgled making pasta and started with hand mixing and rolling on bench. I have since got a Pasta maker and use it a fair bit. Lasagna with fresh pasta is soooo much better. I now also mix my dough in a food processor which makes it heaps easier.

Hi Beaker. have you added sundried tomatoes, sliverbeet or spinach, etc. at all. I've placed a request for a pasta machine for Christmas and would like to try some options adding wholemeal flour and veges, etc. thanks for your help.

Yes done a few with silverbeet and cream cheese though only just got the pasta maker a month or so back. Its a cheap one from the warehouse 60 dollars I think it was. Have only done the ravioli type filled pasta a few timeshave made two Lasagne and a fair bit of Tagliatelli which is what I really got it for as hand rolling that just takes forever.

beaker did you use the same pasta recipe that is used for a pasta machine to make it.
