Since 1935, Italy's first pasta machine has been known for quality the
world over. Great Italian Chefs recognize the technical skills embodied in
the Imperia Machine. It has a dough roller unit for rolling and kneading
with a 6" width. It has a removable double cutter head for spaghetti and
fettuccine (6.5mm - 1/4 inch). The Imperia pasta machine has an easy-lock
dough roller adjustment dial, a fancy wood grip handle and it has a complete
selection of optional attachments. It is compatible with the pasta machine
motor, also by Imperia. Directions and recipe book included. Made in Italy.

Pasta Dough
3 cups of Molini Pizzuti 00
flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon of salt
3 eggs plus 2 yolks
1 tablespoon of Colavitta
Extra-virgin olive oil,
plus 1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon of water
Vincenzo’s Semolina flour,
for dusting
To make pasta dough:
Combine the 00 flour and salt; shape into a mound on your work surface and
make a well in the center. Add whole eggs, yolks, and 1-tablespoon olive
oil to the well and lightly beat with a fork. Gradually draw in the flour
from the inside wall of the well in a circular motion. Use 1 hand for mixing
and the other to protect the outer wall. Continue to incorporate all the
flour until it forms a ball. Knead and fold the dough until elastic and
smooth, this should take about 10 minutes. Brush the surface with remaining
olive oil and wrap the dough in plastic wrap; let rest for about 30 minutes
to allow the gluten to relax.
Divide the ball of dough in small sections, cover and reserve the dough you
are not immediately using to prevent it from drying out. Form the dough
into a rectangle and roll it through the pasta machine, 2 or 3 times, at
widest setting. Pull and stretch the sheet of dough with the palm of your
hand as it emerges from the rollers. Reduce the setting and crank dough
through again, 2 or 3 times. Continue tightening and rolling until the
sheet is about 1/4-inch thick. Keep in mind, overly thick pasta tastes
gummy.
Cut the long sheet into workable 18-inch pieces. Now, using the cutting
attachment, run the sheets through the cutting slot. Dust the noodles and
a baking sheet with cornmeal. Coil the strands into a nest. Allow it to dry
for about 10 minutes before cooking.
