mike kenney: This is a brilliant book. I wish it came out ten years ago.

Lucy does for pasta books what Kevin Zraly did for wine books.

She covers every machine from rollers to kitchen aid attachments to the torchio and everything in between.

She doesn’t write in whimsical stories or long winded diatribes, she explains the recipes and hydration and use of machines in clear and easy to understand language.

Her hydration information and dough recipes are spot on and will save you a lot of flour, water, egg, and time.

You can’t go wrong with this book for yourself or as a gift, and whether you are a beginner or experienced.

Great purchase.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: Some cookbooks are meant to be read. The Ultimate Pasta Machine Cookbook is one of them. The book is informative, clear and the pictures are beautiful.

Within a few days of having the book I grabbed some semolina and my pasta tools and put them to work. The result was beautiful pasta that was light and flavorful. So far I’ve only tried the extruded dough for macaroni and rigatoni noodles. I baked the rigatoni with Italian sausage, marinara and cheese. I was so impressed with the pasta I don’t foresee myself buying a box of pasta any time soon.

I can’t wait to try some of the sheeted dough and accompanied recipes. There’s even a recipe for cannoli dough.

If you were like me and had a bunch of pasta tools but was striking out with online recipes, look no further. This book is for you.

Mark Nowaczynski: This book is clearly written and logically explained with both an artisanal and scientific approach to making various types of pasta at home. It is aimed at both the beginner as well as seasoned pasta makers. It has much to teach everyone who opens it, written by a master of her craft who unselfishly shares her tips, tricks, and secrets. Bravo Lucy for an outstanding guide to the wonderful world of homemade pasta!

Amazon Customer: Unlike many of the other pasta books I own, this one focuses exclusively on machine made pasta, think your standard sheeter, extruders, and cavatelli machines. I love the variety of recipes in this book, you’ll find way more than just standard egg noodles in here. I’m particularly excited about recipes for Asian noodles, like ramen, udon (pictured here) and soba noodles. I have my sights set on the Russian plemeni recipe too. The beginning of the book focuses on pasta recipes, find herb pasta, sourdough pasta, filling recipes and more noodley goodness there. Then towards the end she shares recipes using the noodles you’ve made. The recipes at the end are easy to follow, and aren’t too intimidating or labor intensive either! In addition to traditional pasta dishes, you can find recipes for things like cultured butter, ricotta cheese, cannoli (made with the pasta sheeter of course!), stocks and more.

This book is thoughtfully laid out and easy to use, with stunning photography and a nice range of recipes. Lucy has an amazing tool collection that makes appearances throughout the book, and it has got me itching to expand my growing collection of pasta making tools....

Laurie Boucher: Lucy is a talented Chef, culinary instructor and published author of several other fabulous cookbooks. I am so happy to add this one to my “Lucy” collection.

I have an embarrassing number of cookbooks, and a large portion of those are dedicated to pasta and noodles of all kinds. What makes this book unique is that this is the only one I have that really focuses on the proper use of three different pasta machines (a sheeter, an extruder and a cavatelli maker) to make a variety of noodles. As a pasta instructor, I am frequently asked about the differences between these machines and the proper way to use them. This book tackles all these questions and will give a home cook as well as someone more experienced the answers they need and the confidence to use each one efficiently. The book is not limited to the use of the machines, it is chock full of recipes, techniques and sources for pasta tools (and filled with beautiful images, most of which Lucy has captured herself).

Lucy writes her recipes in a way that is understandable and approachable for a home cook, but also in a way that culinary students or professional chefs will appreciate. It is a must have for a new...
