1. Follow the “Pasta Machine
Assembly Instructions.” Align the
notches on the Handle with the
notches in the Cutter Drive Slot of
choice. Slide the Handle into the
Cutter Drive Slot (Figure I).
2. Cut a piece of rolled out dough, long
enough to be easily handled.
3. Lightly flour your work space and
the pasta sheet. See “Pasta Tips”
for more instruction on making dough
and pasta.
4. While slowly turning the Handle
clockwise, carefully start the dough into
the Cutter Attachment.
5. As the cut noodles exit the machine
from underneath, continue to carefully
guide the dough into the Pasta
Machine while slowly turning the
Handle (Figure J).
6. Now set Regulator Knob to the “6” position. Run the dough through the Rollers.
Repeat this process several times, each time setting the Regulator Knob to the next
setting until the dough reaches the thickness you desire. If the sheet gets too long to
manage, simply cut it with a knife.
7. After reaching the desired thickness, leave the sheet to rest for about 10 minutes
so that it will dry slightly and be hard enough for cutting, without sticking to the
Cutting Rollers.

1. Prepare the filling of your preference. It should be rather soft
to allow the pasta sheets to conform the filling without breaking.
2. Attach the Ravioli Maker Attachment to the pasta machine
following the “Pasta Machine Assembly” instructions.
3. Prepare a pasta sheet to the desired thickness following the
“Rolling Dough Instructions”. Dust lightly with flour. Let the pasta
sheet rest until it is slightly dry.
4. Trim the sheet past to the proper width with the Wheel Cutter
(Figure L).
5. Divide the sheet in two. This will give you two sheets of
the same width and length.
6. Place one pasta sheet on each of the Wooden Rollers of the
Ravioli Maker Attachment (Figure M) and turn the Pasta
Machine Handle slowly, making sure both sheets of pasta are
being pulled into the Ravioli Maker Attachment. Test a short
length to make sure the dough sticks together (if the sheets
do not stick, lightly brush with an egg wash, if using a non-egg
dough, use water).
7. Spoon the filling in between the two sheets of pasta into
the cavities of the Ravioli Maker Attachment.
Do not place filling between the cavities or the
sheets of pasta will not seal properly. Be careful
not to put too much in, you want the pasta sheets too
close around the filling without compressing it.
8. Turn the Pasta Machine Handle slowly in a
clockwise direction to seal the first row of ravioli.
If the ravioli break, add less filling; if they seem flat or
too empty add a little more filling.
9. Allow the ravioli to dry slightly before cutting them apart.
10. Boil ravioli in plenty of salted water for approximately 4 to 5
minutes. After tasting to make sure they are adequately cooked,
remove from the heat and drain.
