1. 1

   I have had great success using my ABM to make pasta! I started with the instructions in Donna Rathmell German's book "The Pasta Machine Cookbook" which I definitely recommend. She gives suggestions for many combinations of flours and flavorful additions.

   One of our favorites is the whole wheat version. I grind the wheat flour, sift to be sure there are not any "chunks" & then "dump" everything into the bread maker. Let it run for a minute or two to check that the consistency is right, then let it knead about ten minutes. Stop machine & wrap the ball of dough in plastic wrap for a few minutes to "mellow". Then I use an Atlas, crank type pasta roller to make the type of pasta that I want.The dough handles very well. It is simple, quick & easy! I rarely make pasta by any other method. My bread machine is an old Betty Crocker one that doesn't seem to have any problems with the pasta dough.
