Product Description

The Villaware V177 is a great budget pasta machine, ideally suited for beginners. The thing about hand cranked pasta maker machines is that they are simple gadgets.

That means there is little to go wrong and is why cheap models can be just as good as more expensive ones. Of course more expensive heavier models may well last the rigors of the more robust chef for longer, but this pasta machine should do very well in the average home kitchen.

Villaware Pasta Machine

The Villaware Pasta Machine is the perfect choice for those of you unsure just how much pasta you are likely to be creating. Though we do stress that once tried, homemade pasta really does knock the socks off anything bought, we also understand that for some, what seemed like a good idea can quickly become an unused gadget collecting dust in a cupboard somewhere.

So, though we are sure that once your start you really will want to carry on creating your own delicious pasta at home, maybe time constraints will make this a more occasional kitchen activity for you. In that case why not buy a budget priced pasta maker machine such as the Villaware Al Dente. At such a low price it is a great way to decide if homemade pasta is something you will be creating much of. Not a lot to try your hand at a new skill. And because the principles of all hand cranked pasta making machines are so simple, this cheap machine will do everything you need of it regardless of its bargain bin price tag.

The Villaware Pasta Machine may be cheap but it has all you need to create perfect pasta. The 6" wide roller does not take up too much space but easily produces perfectly sized lasagna. The roller is adjustable so you can progressively roll your dough thinner and thinner for fine results.

For the novice a recipe book and instructions are included. One tip with all pasta maker machines is that to work well they do need a well made dough. And, though pasta dough is extremely simple (flour, water and eggs), the key is texture. Not too wet, not too stiff, and this can take a little practice. Remember too that different batches of flour will behave differently and even the weather can affect the volume of liquid required. So, though you will need to follow recipes initially, be prepared to deviate a little according to what is going on with the ingredients in your kitchen.

The Villaware V177 Al Dente Pasta Machine will certainly help you make perfect pasta, but you will need to get involved too, and lets be honest this is the fun for the cook, so make sure you let everyone know that you created the delicious pasta, the machine just helped!
