how many types of pasta can you make with this machine?
1738746
It is for spagetti, fettuccini, flat dough for ravioli and sttufed pasta. You can adjust the thickness of the dough.
1738747
You can roll the pasta to varying thicknesses and cut it to either a normal sized spaghetti noodle or a wider linguine noodle.
1738748
It makes thin spagetti and fettuccini with the upper bracket. However if you flatten the dough and cut it yourself you can make anything. It has 7 different positions for flattening out the dough, number one is real thin.

Technically only 2, thin spaghetti/Angel hair and fettuccine. But you can also make flat sheets for lasagna or ravioli if you have a stamper or press.

Yes you can, I have even seen some recipes for homemade spaghetti sauces online as well. Great machine!!

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.

It depends on your taste. Using the Marcato Pasta Machine I had really good results with the '6' setting.

The Fox Run Pasta Machine that I have allows 3 widths to be made, Fettuccine, Lasagna and Tagliatelle.

you can make multiple batches, it makes them small, so you would get multiple batches if you made the full recipe of anything. this machine gets scorching hot, so you have to be careful with the bottom burning. if i'm honest i don't really use it because it is more of a hassle than it is fun.

Yes, you do. It's a little messy, but the key is making a very dry dough -- not like what you might make when hand rolling. A general rule is 10 ounces of flour to 4 ounces of liquid (water, eggs, etc). The torchio like semolina dough better. The mess is in chaff (poorly formed pasta shapes) and in the very thin, papery leavings after you've made your batch. But the machine works great, as you might expect from something largely unchanged for 130 years.

Well, first, you need a roller attachment to run the dough thru several times until you reach the desired thickness for the pasta, secondly, you'll need the pasta cutter which will cut the dough rolled out into various types of pasta, for example, fettechini, spaghetti. The pasta roller also acts as a lasagna roller. Most sets are sold in three pieces, the dough roller, and two attachments for various kinds of pasta. So, I recommend getting the roller and the two pasta cutters for various styles of pasta. Buying them separately is more expensive. Buy the three attachment set and save yourself some grief.

I haven't tried but the recipe book that comes with had a whole wheat pasta recipe as well as one for breadsticks. Both are 50/50 flour mixes though. The machine is pretty tough, and I love it. But not sure how it would work for your needs.

The machine is just wide enough to do lasagna noodles. If you tried it for pies, you would have to do 2-3 lengths of pie dough, and then layer them.

I have had my Viante machine for quite awhile and still love it. If you understand the "chemistry" of making pasta with a hand-crank-type roller, this machine is like dying and going to heaven. If you think the machine will correct an imbalance of liquid or dry ingredients, you will write reviews like some of the negative ones I've read on this site. So far, I've used the included discs to make linguine, fettuccine, tagliatelle, lasagnette, vermicelli, spaghettini, spaghetti, ziti, rigatoni, and biscotti.

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.

I don't know. I have never used it. I have a separate pasta maker that I have had for years. A hand cranked appliance.

Yes, the book that comes with the machine has three receipts for pasta. Really a versatile machine that makes everything from Jams to Meatloaf.

The machine has 12 settings, to be used for a variety of products that can be made in the machine. I am very happy with this machine.

We are kind of new using this machine, however, we can tell you that we have only been making pasta on this machine with standard dough and it has worked very well. We have yet to make a pasta using eggs.
