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.

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!

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!

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’!

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.

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.

Whole dish made in less than 1/2 hour, from making pasta to serving it for dinner. Easy to clean and I use a kebab stick to clean out the little bits 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.

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!!
