60$ for an italian-made steel pasta maker. has cutter for spaghetti and fettuccine


however, i also want to make some tubular stuff...like macheroni
what i need is a beautiful BRONZE* (not plastic) extruder plate like this

Why specifically bronze?

1. its traditional.. and it looks good

but 2. the sharp edges of the metallic plates leaves pasta with the rough surficial texture (as seen on photo). most plastic extruders (though ive barely seen any extruders online at all) leaves a smooth surface to pasta. smooth surface = less surface area for pasta sauce to adhere

Looks like what you want is the AT910 pasta maker attachment with the bronze screen- here is the bronze screen from an ebay store:

It isn't a US item, but I see a bunch of vendors who ship to the US.

(Google is your friend btw- lol)

Maybe you should be looking at meat grinder with a pasta plate?

actually, thanks to that link, i found the machine at only 120$ buy-it-now. with shipping, and 25$ per die, thats still a bit pricey.

Bulk pasta, my friend.

Really, I was ballparking it. Pretty sure all of the brand name pastas at my local grocery store are ~$1 a pound, but I think you can get 4 pounds for $2 at Walmart.

Point is, pasta is crazy cheap, and $280 for a device to make pasta seems crazy. But the OP isn't looking to spend $280, he's looking to spend $60.

I am not sure he cared much about the budget, more a matter of finding the things.

why not just hand roll and cut your pasta?

i can do that for ravioli, tortellini, lasagne, fettuccine, etc... but you cant roll shaped or tubular pasta (atleast not that i know of)

supposedly some italian mamas will roll a thin sheet of pasta around a thick wire/cord, like extremely thick piano wire, and then pull that through for a hollow tube...but if i could find an extruder thatd be much better
