Pasta Roller – Lasagna
With the Lasagna Pasta Roller, you can create smooth, even pasta sheets with ease. The roller presses the dough to the perfect thickness — from 0.6 to 4.8 mm — making it ideal for classic dishes such as lasagne, ravioli or dumplings.

3. Start at a low speed
4. Feed in small pieces of dough
5. Roll until you reach the desired thickness
Pasta with Basil Pesto
Bring a taste of spring to everyday cooking with pasta tossed in basil pesto. Homemade pasta holds the fresh, vibrant pesto beautifully, creating a dish that is simple, elegant and full of flavour. Perfect for sharing with family and friends when you want something homemade that feels a little special.
Steamed Chicken & Courgette Dumplings
Enjoy a light yet flavourful dish by using your Pasta Roller to create delicate dough wrappers filled with tender chicken and fresh courgette. These steamed dumplings have a wonderfully soft texture and make a comforting addition to dinner with loved ones.
Ramen with Crispy Pork Belly and Egg
With an aromatic broth, crispy pork belly and a touch of chilli heat, every bite delivers comfort and bold flavour. The homemade noodles, rolled into even sheets with the Pasta Roller and then cut into noodles using the Spaghetti Cutter, provide the perfect bite and a true sense of hands-on cooking in every bowl of ramen.
Three Tips for the Best Pasta Dough
Let the Dough Rest
A good dough needs time to rest. Allow your pasta dough to rest for at least 30 minutes so the gluten can relax, creating a softer, more elastic texture. This makes rolling easier and results in a smooth, even finish you’ll notice in every bite.
Roll in Stages
As with any craft, the best results come from taking things step by step — and rolling pasta dough is no different. Start at the thickest setting and gradually work your way down to thinner settings. Fold the dough, roll again, and notice how it becomes more even with each pass. This method creates an elastic, resilient dough that holds together beautifully, whether you’re making lasagne sheets, fettuccine or ramen noodles.
The Right Flour Makes a Difference
The flour you choose affects the flavour, texture and mouthfeel of your culinary creations. Whether you’re making pasta or dumplings, selecting the right flour enhances both taste and texture.
- 00 flour creates classic, silky pasta that melts in your mouth.
- Durum flour adds a fantastic bite and is ideal for defined shapes such as spaghetti and fettuccine.
- Bread flour is excellent for noodles and dumplings, where a smooth, elastic and slightly chewier dough is desired.
