🍝 Recipe for Smooth/Ridged Pacchero or Smooth/Ridged Canestro with Philips Pasta Maker Avance
🧂 Ingredients for 4 servings
- 400 g of durum wheat semolina (re-milled or not, any brand you prefer)
- 170 ml of total liquids, including:
- 💧 water
- 🫒 10 ml of extra virgin olive oil
🛠️ Preparation
🔧 1. Die setup
- Combine two die components:
- the smooth pacchero top
- and the ridged canestro base
➡️ This creates a custom die for a “Smooth Canestro”
- Insert it into the Philips Pasta Maker Avance.
🥣 2. Dough preparation
- Pour the semolina into the mixing container.
- Start the machine and gradually add the liquids during kneading.
🔁 3. Second kneading cycle (for Avance users)
- If using Philips Viva, a second cycle is not needed.
- For Philips Avance:
- When the extrusion beep sounds, turn off the machine
- Turn it back on and hold the start button for a few seconds
- Repeat to perform a second kneading cycle
🍝 4. Extrusion
- The pasta is well-formed from the start, no need to reinsert the first pieces.
- Continue extrusion until the dough is fully processed.
⚠️ May require multiple extrusion sessions.
✂️ 5. Cutting and drying
- Cut the canestro or pacchero to your desired length.
👉 Longer cuts enhance the ridged base effect. - Place on a drying rack until ready to cook.
✅ Final Result
A versatile and elegant format, perfect for stuffing, baking, or pairing with rich sauces.
The smooth/ridged combination offers aesthetics and functionality in every bite.
