Know before you buy
The Ruvida rollers are specifically designed to create a slightly porous, rustic surface on your pasta sheets. This texture is superior for gripping sauces, ensuring your pasta is coated evenly rather than having the sauce slide off.
The included clamp is adjustable and works on most standard kitchen countertops or tables. For the best stability, ensure your surface has a flat edge and is no thicker than 2 inches.
Yes, the main machine body creates flat sheets of dough, which you can cut by hand into pappardelle, lasagna noodles, or ravioli. The included Duplex cutter is specifically calibrated for fettuccine and tagliatelle.
You should never wash the machine with water or put it in the dishwasher, as this can cause rust. Instead, use a dry brush or a wooden skewer to remove any dried dough bits from the rollers after they have sat for a few minutes.
The adjustment knob is located on the side of the machine and features a clear dial. It is designed to be adjusted easily between sheets, allowing you to gradually thin your dough until you reach your desired thickness.
Yes, this model is compatible with the Imperia PastaFacile motor, which can be purchased separately if you decide you want to automate the manual cranking process.
