Has anyone tried making fresh pasta with a pasta machine? Is it worth it?

A new pasta machine, right? :). I can't imagine getting the one we had for gluten pasta really clean.

Carry on.... Will be interested to see what people come up with.

Of course! It gives me shudders just to think of using a used one.  :P

 

I'll be interested to see of anyone has tried this.

Nice! :)

 

I'm thinking about making some homemade ravioli today. It's really hard to get any kind of store bought ravioli since I'm dairy free as well as gluten-free, so it'll be nice to make some again.

Those of you who have had success, will you share recipes?  I'd certainly buy a pasta attachment if I knew I could make good pasta.  I guess should practice a bit first, huh?  I've never made pasta before!

flour, egg & water (you can find many, many recipes on the interwebs) i've gotten pretty good at it, so i just do it by eye.  beat the daylights out of it, though, i put the egg into the flour and beat it up.  probably for like, 10 minutes - then you put the water in a little at a time until it forms into a ball.  i have a kitchenaid mixer and i just use the regular paddle attachment, not the dough hook.

Ooh, how do you like the Kitchenaid? I don't have a stand mixer right now, but I'm thinking about it.

I have a kitchen maid that I had before my diagnosis.  I am trying to sell it now though since I am afraid of all the nooks and crannies that gluten can hide in. Or am I just being paranoid and I should be able to get it all clean?

Not to mention, they're ridiculously expensive. I bought some gluten-free ravioli... so happy to find it... and found it pretty tasteless. I'd love to try making it myself.

I need to start saving up for a KitchenAid. I'll bet that it would help with gluten free baking a lot! My hubby has been pretty good about getting me tons of kitchen stuff, he considers kitchen tools to be important.

How is the KitchenAid model different from the others? :)

Those babies are built to last!  They are by far the most durable and long lasting mixer ever made, IMHO.  I remember when I was little my Grandma had one that was so old. I never thought that thing would ever die, and it didn't.  She sold it as an antique and got some pretty good money for it.

My Grammy was using some ancient mixer she had her entire married life when I was little. When I was around 10 or 11 she got a Kitchen Aid for Christmas. (Her kids always get together and buy something awesome for their parents every year.) That was 25 years ago and she's never had a problem with it and I imagine that a young unmarried or newly married great-granddaughter will get it when Grammy passes and that it'll last them for as long as they treat it well.

 

I can't imagine life without mine! I sure would lose a lot of weight though if I didn't have it. I could not possibly do the baking I do without it. I still dream of the day I will get the pasta and sausage attachments. For now though, I'm happy with my shredder. Just another perk of it, all the attachments.

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

      Airborne Gluten?

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten! Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten. I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store. The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions. I find the histamine release...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, ...

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Hello, @MogwaiStripe, Vitamin D is turned into its activated forms by Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can affect Vitamin D activation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14913223/ Thiamine deficiency affects HLA genes.  HLA genes code for autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Thyroiditis, Diabetes, etc.  Thiamine deficiency inside a cell triggers a toggle switch on the gene which in turn activates autoimmune diseases carried on the gene.  The reference to the study is in my blog somewhere.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll down to the drop down menu "Activities" and click on blogs.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!

My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, how long did it take you to feel back to normal? It took about two months before she got “glutened” again but now she’s having difficult coming back from that and has a lot of fatigue. I’m hoping someone has some advice!
