How to Make Fresh Pasta

[Trissalicious]

Hi Guys!

I am trying to make fresh pasta on the TM - the recipe book says interval speed for 2 minutes  - but the resulting dough is more crumbly and doesn't come together - I have to tip out the dough and knead it myself for a few minutes - does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks!

Yes that's how the TM does it.  You will have to knead it together yourself, doesn't take long, but I find it hurts my hands.

I've started making my pasta dough with my KitchenAid, as the dough hook kneads it into a ball in only a few mins and saves my hands.

Yes I knead mine together too.  A bit of a pain, but worth it to have yummy fresh pasta.

I generally just add a sprinkle more water if it is not coming together after 20 seconds.  It depends on the flour and how much moisture is in it to start.  But I do have a ball when finished.
