🍝 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

• Insert the bronze ridged mezze maniche die into your Philips Pasta Maker Avance.

🥣 2. Kneading

• Pour the semolina into the mixing container.
• Start the pasta program.
• Gradually add the well-mixed liquids (water + oil).

🔁 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:
  • reinsert the first pieces into the container
  • continue extrusion until the dough is finished
  • cut the pasta slightly shorter than a pacchero

🧺 5. Drying

• Place the mezze maniche vertically on a drying rack to help them keep their shape.

✅ Final Result
Firm, ridged mezze maniche that hold sauces beautifully — perfect with vegetables, mussels, or creamy condiments.
