Best electric pasta maker :
we review the
Imperia Pasta Presto.

If you don’t have time to roll and cut fresh pasta by hand an electric pasta maker may be the answer.

The Imperia ‘Pasta Presto’ is the best Italian pasta machine on the market.


Find out why here.


Please note : although this machine is described by the manufacturers as an electric pasta maker it should really be described as an Italian pasta machine - it does not make the dough for you.


You will need to make your own pasta dough before using the ‘Pasta Presto’ to roll and cut it for you.




Why Imperia?

Imperia is an Italian company which has been making pasta machines since the 1930s. They are well known both in Italy and worldwide for quality, durability and innovative design.


Imperia is in our view the best brand of pasta maker if you want a genuinely reliable Italian pasta machine which is going to last for years.




Description.

  • This is quite a large, silver-finished machine which sits on your work surface.


  • Electric pasta maker
  • Its lid covers rollers which are controlled by a knob setting, allowing six different thicknesses of pasta.


  • The rollers will create beautifully thin sheets for lasagne, or


  • There are integral cutters to make two different widths of ‘ribbon’ pasta - tagliatelle or fettucine.


  • If that’s not enough for you, you can also buy other attachments to make different pasta types.




How does it work?

  • With this machine, you do need to learn how to make pasta dough. It’s a simple process you can master first time - and it’s great fun to do with kids.



  • Once your dough is made, just turn the mechanism on and feed it into the machine’s rollers two or three times, until you get the pasta to the thickness you prefer.



  • Then choose the type of pasta you want - lasagne sheets, tagliatelle or fettucine - and put the sheets through the cutter mechanism.



  • You then need to leave the pasta for twenty minutes or so before simply plunging it into water at a ‘rolling boil’.



  • In ninety seconds you will have a bowl of steaming, delicious pasta which is like no shop-bought pasta - fresh or dried - could ever match!



  • The machine has a non-stick coating so simply wipes clean very easily.




What makes it the best electric pasta maker?
- advantages.


  • Distinctive, stylish design.


  • Robust, sturdy, reliable machine with a twelve month guarantee.


  • Six roller settings mean you control exactly how thick or thin you make your pasta.


  • Three different pasta types possible - lasagne, tagliatelle and fettucine.


  • Other attachments available to buy.


  • Non-stick coating makes it very easy to clean.


  • Ideal if you have a big family or do a lot of catering and need to make larger amounts of pasta quickly.





Are there any disadvantages?

It does not make the pasta dough for you.

However, making dough by hand is quick and it’s fun, so unless you really do want a fully automated process this isn’t really a disadvantage.







Full instructions are included, but if you’re still not sure, watch this video which takes you through the process of using a machine from dough-making to cooking.
