  • Perfect for entertaining

    I love our pasta maker and so do the family and the extended family. I have to say that it has made entertaining a breeze as everyone can socialise and chat while the pasta is being made for lunch and dinner. Entertaining is actually pretty cheap too and definitely cheaper than an Italian restaurant.

  • Why I gave 5 STARS!!!

    I would hands down recommend the Philips Pasta and Noodle Maker to others!!! So I really enjoy fresh pasta but with 3 little munchkins in toe now I don’t really have the time to make it.. the old fashion way. A few of my friends have “other” pasta making machines and I have asked them to show me how there’s work. Of course I had to have a taste test as well. HANDS DOWN the Philips machine is quicker, easier to operate and the taste of the pasta far out accomplishes the “others”. I have even convinced one of my friends to get rid of their machine and buy the Philips brand!

    The Philips Pasta & Noodle Maker is quicker than expected to use.. oh yes it is! So I did a time test..
    – 2 minutes to get out machine, all ingredients, plug in and place ingredients into the machine
    – 15 minutes for all pasta to be made, cut and drying on a pasta rack
    – 12 minutes to wash and set to air dry
    – I min and 30 sec to pack up and put away (after drying but who stands there and watches it dry right… )
    TOTAL – 30.5 minutes
    Those of you who have ever made fresh pasta know that you would barely be done needing the dough let alone be cleaned up and packed away!

    The Philips Pasta & Noodle Maker is suitable for lots of recipes.. Of course, I was even able to cater for family members with food allergies.. when I told them we were having fresh pasta they gave me the look of “Ok and what am I getting to eat”. The response from family was “Where did you buy it and exactly what is in it”. I was able to show them the recipe, and even prepared it right in front of them. What can I say it was a dinner the whole family was involved in!

    The Philips Pasta & Noodle Maker brings back the joy of cooking at a whole new level!!! All the family is involved and for our 10 year wedding anniversary my darling husband even pulled out machine and made dinner with the kids all by themselves.
    I love the fact the whole family is involved and we are improving our quality of eating by being able to hide lots of veggies from the kids and even making some fabulous pasta salads to have as a side dish.

    I honestly swear by the Philips Pasta and Noodle maker, I was so sceptical that it was going to be hard, too time consuming and really just a pain to have in our kitchen. It has become one of the family bringing us all together at meal time, thank you from a very happy mummy and her family!

  • Making life easy

    Well it has happened…. I managed to make a least 2 pasta dishes a week using my Phillips Pasta and Noodle maker.

    It is so easy and so much fun for the kids to get involved. The kids take turns in measuring everything out and Master 5 has even mastered cracking eggs! Now if little Miss 2 and Master 1 could crack eggs without getting shells into it, I would be onto a real winner!

    This miracle maker machine not only churns out pasta at lightening speed but is easy to clean up afterwards. Just as an added bonus it all packs away compactly and conveniently…

    I am very happy to say that I finally after many years look forward to getting in the kitchen with new little friend the Phillips Pasta and Noodle maker!

  • To feed a small army!

    We had a surprise visit at our house last night from another family – that meant 11 mouths to feed! While I would normally be uninspired, and horrified by this situation, I had a lightbulb moment, and decided to make fresh pasta for all of us. A quick sauce using passata, garlic and fresh basil from the garden, and we had a wonderful evening. Thanks Phillips and MoM for the opportunity to give this fantastic pasta maker a ‘whirl’!

  • MIGHTY MEATBALLS AND PASTA MADE IN THE PHILIPS PASTA AND NOODLE MAKER

    I was needing a quick mid week recipe for my boys. Having the Philips Pasta and Noodle Maker on hand the problem was solved. As I got onto making the tomato sauce and meatballs, my 2 sons aged 8 and 10 got onto making the pasta. The machine is so easy to use, they love it.
    The beauty of this pasta is that all components can be frozen. Extra meat balls and tomato sauce and be frozen for another meal.
    I did find the pasta a little firm to the bite, so I recommend cooking it a little longer.

  • Philips Pasta Maker makes an awesome lasagne!!!

    Tonight I decided to use my Philips Pasta Maker to make a Béchamel Lasagne. I used the wide disc to make the sheets. From previous experience, after the pasta was made, I precooked the sheets for about 10 minutes in boiling water before putting the lasagna together and cooking it in the oven.
    Pasta from the Philips machine I have found to be a little firm to eat. I have made cannelloni before and the family commented that the pasta was a bit thick and firm after cooking. Today I found that by pre boiling the sheets of pasta the lasagna turned out fantastic. I will definitely do this again in the future.

  • All Sorts of Pasta!!

    I was so surprised when I open this machine to find not only does it do penne style and spaghetti/noodles but it also does sheets of pasta. So I used an old favourite recipe of ravioli and replace the usual wonton sheets with this freshly made pasta. The extrusion process meant that I could cut the sheets to the exact size I wanted as they came out and I could start filled them straight away.
    They were so fresh and tasty and we can’t wait to make more and try the sheets for lasagne.

  • That really exciting moment... when the pasta starts being extruded!!!

    Tonight was a quick, basic pasta night. We made a basic durum spaghetti, which is such a quick and easy process. While the pasta was mixing in the chamber, I quickly made a basil pesto. Including cooking time, a completely homemade, packet-free meal was made in about 20 minutes. A winner with hubby, Miss 8, Mr 10, and being so quick and easy – Mummy!!

  • Reduces my time, and healthier for the kids!

    I have been making my own pasta for a while, using the old hand turn machine. It always took me a long time to finish, and this then made me lazy, despite home made pasta being so much better and tastier. I then invested in the Phillips Pasta & Noodle Maker, and oh boy, what a difference it has made to my life. I no longer have to do the dough the same, or use my hands to turn the wheel 5 or 6 times per sheet. It is amazing. My kids say it even makes “real spaghetti”, and now just thin linquine as in the hand held machines. Highly recommended!!

  • Fresh and delicious pasta easily and quickly made

    I love my Philips Pasta & Noodle Maker. My family loves it. Fresh pasta and noodles is easily and quickly made with this appliance. Put the flour, egg and water in the appliance and it shoots out the pasta. How easy is that. Being fresh, the pasta cooks much quicker than the dried pasta. The appliance is also very easy to clean. I leave it for a few hours and then it is a matter of picking off the dried pasta dough from the attachments. Very useful for us as we eat a lot of pasta and noodles.

  • Love this machine

    Recently purchased the Philips Pasta and Noodle Maker and WOW one of my best kitchen gadgets. It is so easy to use and saves you money too. Just make sure your pasta sauce and water to cook your pasta is ready to go, then follow exactly the instructions in the easy to understand instruction book and within minutes of turning your machine on pasta is extruding from the head of the machine . Next put it into your boiling water and it’s cooked in minutes. Even my husband watches in amazement .

  • We Love Our Philips Pasta & Noodle Maker

    I have been very impressed with the Philips Pasta & Noodle Maker. It’s so easy to use, that even my kids know how to measure and make the pasta.
    I no longer buy pasta, as the Philips Pasta & Noodle Maker makes such a tastier, fresher pasta each time, we much prefer to make our own!
    The setting up and cleaning can be a little bit involved but, once you know what you are doing, it gets easier and faster each time.
    We love eating our fresh, home made pasta! Great work Phillips!

  • I love my pasta machine!

    I only just received my machine as a birthday present so I have only used it once. We made some yummy fettuccine. I was surprised at how quickly the pasta was made. The machine was easy to operate, and whilst the cleaning was a bit more cumbersome than I expected as you pull out all the various parts it was very easy to clean. I also love the draw underneath to store all the parts.

  • It's very quick and easy yo use. Children can do it!

    I love my Philips Pasta Maker, it’s a very easy to use machine and the kids love using it. I like the flexibility of it – using it to make noodles for Asian dishes too. The one thing I don’t like is that the texture of the pasta is not as good as when you use s traditional pasta machine. I think this is due to the short kneading time and single extrusion. I’ve tried s lot of different recipes but it doesn’t change the texture – it lacks that smooth, silken feel of the traditional way. It doesn’t really matter once the pasta is cooked, but it is certainly something to be aware of, especially given it is an expensive machine. I still think it was worth every (on sale) penny.

  • Angel hair pasta

    I was lucky enough to receive additional attachments for the Philips Pasta and Noodle Maker. One of these attachments makes Angel Hair pasta/noodles. I decided to give it a go to serve with bolognaise instead of the usual spaghetti. It turned out really well and I actually enjoyed it as a change from spaghetti as it was a bit lighter. It seems to go a bit further too as it’s much thinner than the other varieties. It only takes about 4 minutes to cook too, so it’s a bit of a winner all round! A friend makes egg noodles – angel hair noodles cut in about 2cm lengths. She says they go really nicely in a chicken broth, so I’m going to try this next. I think you use egg only and no water. I’ll post the results.

    its fully automatic, it mixes, kneads and pumps it out all by itself. There a 4 different discs to give different shaped pasta. You can add your own ingredients to make beetroot pasta, carrot pasta etc. It’s so easy to clean, even the man of the house can do it. And storage is a breeze, it all sits in its own little storage case. And it comes with its own little recipe book, to help get you excited about cooking pasta. I love it, I’m sure you will too

  • Gourmet parsley pasta

    Tonight I made parsley thick flat pasta. I was lucky enough to get some additional fittings for the Philips Pasta and Noodle Maker, and gave the thick flat noddle attachment a go. I recently saw some gourmet pasta being sold at a local farmers market, and one of the flavors was parsley. I thought “I could make that”! I simply added 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley to the usual recipe, and it turned out brilliantly! It had a distinct parsley flavour and added a great freshness to the pasta. I just love that this machine allows you to be so creative!

  • Easy To use and a breaze to clean

    I am so pleased with my Philips Pasta & Noodle maker, I have made lasagna, spaghetti, fettucine and penne so far. My favourite pasta is lasagna & this machine makes the perfect lasagna sheets, they come out so fast and taste beautiful and fresh. I added one egg to the water to make fresh egg lasagna sheets and I loved how they turned out as did the family. The machine is so easy to pull apart and clean and put back together and the storage compartment keeps things looking tidy in my cupboard.

  • To feed a small army!

    We had a surprise visit at our house last night from another family – that meant 11 mouths to feed! While I would normally be uninspired, and horrified by this situation, I had a lightbulb moment, and decided to make fresh pasta for all of us. A quick sauce using passata, garlic and fresh basil from the garden, and we had a wonderful evening. Thanks Phillips and MoM for the opportunity to give this fantastic pasta maker a ‘whirl’!

  • MIGHTY MEATBALLS AND PASTA MADE IN THE PHILIPS PASTA AND NOODLE MAKER

    I was needing a quick mid week recipe for my boys. Having the Philips Pasta and Noodle Maker on hand the problem was solved. As I got onto making the tomato sauce and meatballs, my 2 sons aged 8 and 10 got onto making the pasta. The machine is so easy to use, they love it.
    The beauty of this pasta is that all components can be frozen. Extra meat balls and tomato sauce and be frozen for another meal.
    I did find the pasta a little firm to the bite, so I recommend cooking it a little longer.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Certainly most welcome for summer, and would be wonderful for the festive season. I can see this platter on the table Christmas Eve, when we get together with our neighbours.

  • This is timely and helpful, thanks – I aspire to entertain more and tips to make it less stressful are very welcome.

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed

  • Charcuterie Boards and Antipasto boards are so good. I love them, i love the variety of foods you can put on them and they are so great for entertaining and enjoying with family or friends. It is something i like to make whenever i have friends over as you can enjoy and pick away while you are catching up. Great entertaining option.

  • I absolutely adore an antipasto spread. There’s nothing better than having a colourful plate of charcuterie and antipasto shared with loved ones. I grew up with my Mum making the most lush, long table of nibblies on celebrations and it’s something that my siblings and I carry on today. It brings us all together.
