🍝 Recipe for Ridged Mezze Maniche with Philips Pasta Maker Avance
🧂 Ingredients for 4 servings
- 400 g of durum wheat semolina (non-re-milled is recommended for best results)
- 150 ml total liquid, including:
- 💧 Water as needed
- 🫒 5 ml extra virgin olive oil
🛠️ Preparation
🔧 1. Install the die

🥣 2. Kneading
- Pour the semolina into the mixing container.
- Start the pasta program.

🔁 3. Kneading cycles
- At the extrusion beep, turn off the machine.
- Turn it back on and hold the start button for a few seconds to restart the program.
- Repeat for a total of 3 kneading cycles.
🍝 4. Extrusion and cutting
- The pasta forms well from the beginning, but to ensure quality:
