🍝 Spaghetti alla Chitarra Recipe with Philips Pasta Maker Avance

🧂 Ingredients for 4 servings

300 g of durum wheat semolina (re-milled or not, any brand)
2 eggs
Water up to a total of 135 ml, including:
- 🫒 5 ml of extra virgin olive oil

🛠️ Preparation

🔧 1. Die setup
Insert the spaghetti alla chitarra die into the insert holder and attach it to the machine.

🥣 2. Dough preparation

Pour the semolina into the mixing container.
Start the program.
Slowly add the well-mixed liquids (eggs, water, oil).

🔁 3. Kneading cycles

When you hear the extrusion beep, turn off the machine.
Turn it back on and hold the start button for a few seconds to restart kneading.
Repeat this process for a total of 3 kneading cycles.

🍝 4. Extrusion

Begin extrusion. If the first strands are uneven, return them to the container.
Cut the pasta to your desired length.
Place the spaghetti alla chitarra on a drying rack.

✅ Final result

You’ll get firm, thick spaghetti alla chitarra that hold up well to hearty sauces.
Due to their thickness, they require longer cooking times, especially if dried.
