The most fascinating thing to me about these machines is that the semolina is so hard, it actually wears the solid bronze dies, which have to be replaced regularly. Pasta don’t mess around.

Pasta is the one food I prefer pre-made. Doing it myself was just timeconsuming and I never liked the end product as much, usually too doughy, no matter how dry I made them.

@pesco Your assemblage of images and animations puts me very much in mind of the unnarrated Sesame Street how stuff is made documentaries from back in the day (gum balls, tortillas, etc.… actually the tortilla one was narrated, wasn’t it?).
Yay!

Baking bread (e.g., focaccia) with semolina (or a blend) gives impressively different character.

Add goat cheese, smoked hot Italian sausage, and portobello mushrooms and that is a fine evening.
Love that red wine (Malbec)…

The big difference is apparently the surface texture of the finished pasta: Bronze dies makes for a rougher surface, which helps it hold on to sauces.
