There's no denying the fact that it is easily the ultimate comfort food. Just bung in your favourite veggies, simmer the sauce, sprinkle some cheese, and you're good to go! Pasta is one dish that can please even the fussiest eaters. Made with flour, pasta can be formed into strips, sheets or any other shape. In fact, you'll find over hundreds of pasta shapes across the world. The different varieties of pasta include penne, spaghetti, farfalle, gnocchi, fettuccine and many others.

  3. Plug in the machine and press the ‘MIX’ button or ‘Auto’ button to start the appliance.
  4. Add around 2 cups of water for 2 cups of flour. Make sure you don’t add the water before you turn the KENT Noodle & Pasta Maker on.

  1. Start by heating olive oil in a non-stick pan. Then add 4 to 5 cloves of garlic and sauté the mixture for two minutes.
  2. Then add crushed red chilies to the mixture and blend. Now add tomato puree and tomatoes and mix well.
  3. Add salt as per your taste, followed by oregano. Now add roughly chopped basil leaves and mix it well and keep cooking till the tomatoes appear pulpy.
  4. To add creaminess to the pasta, add white sauce and mix it well. Now for some tangy effect, add tomato ketchup and mix well.
  5. Now add the homemade pasta to the sauce and cook for two minutes. Adjust more seasonings or salt if required
  6. Grate some parmesan cheese and add it generously all over the dish and mix well.
  7. Now you can transfer the pasta to serving bowl and serve hot topped with basil leaves, olives and crushed red chilies.

There are a ton of benefits in making your own pasta at home! Not only it just takes 10 minutes, but it’s also a healthier option. Moreover, a noodles making machine enables you to pick any flour, flavor, colour and shape as per your preference.
