Health
We have chosen to use food-grade materials to guarantee the absence of harmful metal particles. The rollers are made of anodised aluminium alloy and the combs and scrapers of polymeric resin.
Functionality
The motor simplifies and quickens the processing of the home-made pasta and the adjustment knob with 10 clear positions ensures the pasta thickness is immediately selected.
Safety
You can use Ampiamotor safely, paying attention to the suggestions in this manual.
Cleaning
The surfaces of Ampiamotor can easily be cleaned with a cloth and maintenance is simplified by the presence of removable polymeric resin combs. Ampiamotor is not dishwasher safe!
Flavour enhancement
The anodised aluminium rollers feature an imperceptibly rough surface. The pasta comes out porous and binds more easily with the condiments used.

Pasta dough
INGREDIENTS:
- 250g soft-wheat “00” flour
- 250g durum wheat flour (semolina)
- 5 whole eggs and water up to a total of 250g
Pour the flour into a bowl, then the eggs and water in the middle.
Mix the eggs and water with a fork. Do not add salt!
Knead the dough with your hands until it is completely smooth and consistent. If the dough is too dry, add some water; if it is too sticky, add some flour. Perfect dough should never stick to your fingers.
Remove the dough from the bowl and place it on a table, lightly dusted with flour. If necessary, continue kneading the dough by hand and break it up into little pieces.
How to prepare pasta sheets with Ampiamotor
Set the adjustment knob of the machine to number 0, so that the two smooth rollers are fully open. Turn the motor on by pressing the switch in position “I” (continuous) and feed a piece of dough through the smooth rollers.
Lightly dust both sides of the pasta sheet with flour and fold it in half. Feed the pasta sheet through the smooth rollers again, for 5-6 times until the pasta sheet is long and regular in shape.
Cut the pasta sheet in two and dust each piece lightly with flour on both sides.
Set the adjustment knob to 1 and pass the pasta sheet through just once; then, set the adjustment knob to 2 and pass the pasta sheet through once more; then, set the adjustment knob to 3, and so on until you reach the desired thickness (the recommended thickness setting is no. 6 for fettuccine and no. 7 for tagliolini).
Cut the pasta sheet crosswise into pieces about 25 cm long and dust it lightly with flour.
How to cut the fettuccine or tagliolini
Move the motor from the "sheet" position and couple it with the selected cutting rollers. Turn the motor on and pass the pasta sheet to obtain the selected type of pasta. Pick up the pasta with the special stick and transfer it to the Tacapasta.
The pasta dries in about 5-6 hours, depending on temperature and humidity and can be stored in suitable kitchen containers.
