Pasta Makers

The English word pasta generally refers to noodles and other food products made from a flour and water paste, often including also egg and salt.

Pasta is made either by extrusion, where the ingredients are forced through holes in a plate known as a die, or by lamination, in which dough is kneaded, folded, rolled to thickness, then cut by slitters. Fresh Pasta cooks quickly and has a delicate taste, but spoils quickly due to its high water content.
