🍝 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.
