It is so easy to use, it’s child’s play! Our son loved that he could add all the ingredients into the Philips Pasta Maker and by pressing one button it did the rest while he watched with delight as his ingredients turn into his favourite pasta. The pasta maker automatically mixes all the ingredients, kneads the dough before it extrudes the fresh pasta or noodles for you. From start to finish, give or take 10 minutes and you’re ready to throw your freshly made pasta into the boiling water. Flour, egg and water are the basic ingredients. You decide what type of flour you want to use and also if you want to add any additional flavours to the pasta. You’re in control of what goes onto your next family pasta dish.
Surely you want to have one of these machines in your kitchen too?

Oooooh! I just love a good Biltong & cream, mussle pasta! Simple, boil pasta, sautee onion, garlic until tender. Add a tin of drained mussles and sautee further. A LITTLE pinch of salt,(because Biltong is salty). Ad 250ml full cream and bring to a boil. Add sliced or powdered biltong and some finely cut parsley and serve over a hot bowl of pasta! Njammaaaaa! I want that machine!!!!! ?
Oh I forgot, #MyPastaDream
My chicken Ala King recipe goes like this, boil pasta, then for the chicken Ala King you need chicken, mushrooms, green pepper, milk, chicken Ala King knor packet sauce and cheese. You start your sauce with browning half and onion, then put in chicken and mushrooms, once cooked, mix packet sauce in milk and pour over chicken and mushroom, once its start to get thick add pepper (I like it crunchy, u can add with chicken and mushroom if you like it soft). Once sauce is think enough you take of stove and add to pasta. Mix pasta and sauce together. Add cheese on top. Simply delicious. #MyPastaDream

I’m going to call this Spaghetti Train Smash because I’ve grown up knowing that the only accompaniment to a good boerewors roll is train-smash (a can of tomato and onion mix with a chilli kick):
Un-case some Boerewors (remove the skin). Add 1/2 cup bread crumbs and an egg then mix well and roll into meatballs.
Brown the Boerewors balls in a pan but don’t cook all the way through otherwise they will be dry. Remove from the pan. In the same pan fry one chopped onion, some garlic and a teaspoon of chilli flakes, until glassy, then add two cans of chopped tomatoes. If you would rather use tomato and onion mix simply fry the chilli first in some oil and then add the cans.
Add one tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and one tablespoon of tomato paste to the tomato sauce, stir and then add the Boerewors balls back into the saucey pan. Let the sauce and balls simmer for a little while until reduced slightly and the meatballs are cooked through (I like them very very slightly pink on the inside). The balsamic vinegar should take the edge off the tartness of the sauce but if not add a teaspoon of sugar to the sauce. Season to taste.
Boil your pasta of choice while the sauce is reducing. I recommend spaghetti over farfalle, penne or the likes. Always boil your pasta with lots of salt – once al dente add the pasta to your saucepan. If the sauce is too thick add a ladle of the pasta water. Toss and serve with lots of cheese and rooster brood.

#MyPastaDream A typically South African favourite is oxtail. I would make ravioli filled with pulled oxtail left over from lunch. And warm up the gravy to drizzle and sprinkle over Parmesan cheese for a hearty upcycled meal.
Poached hake with broccoli and baby marrow goes perfectly with wholewheat fettuccini
#MyPastaDream Say whaaaaat. I love making biltong pasta. Its so different and so tasty and I usually am the fussiest on the block when it comes to pasta. I mean its like these stores are selling almost expiry date pasta. Grrrrrrr Fresh al dante biltong pasta rocks my socks.

Hubby makes a KILLER Lasagne, that is so saucy and creamy that you forget about calories and just dive into the dish .
Can only imagine how amazing it would be with fresh pasta sheets.
#Drooling
I would love to win this. Pasta is a staple in my house as my son has food sensory issues and eats plain pasta everyday. I would love to try homemade pasta, sneak in veggies and extra nutrients. Would be a game changer. I hate feeding him pasta from the packet. Crossing fingers

I love pasta and to make it from scratch ….now thats #mypastadream.
I love chicken lasagne with creamy cheesy sauce and carbonossi biltong.
I finely slice an onion and robot peppers, cherry tomatoes and mushrooms.
Saute onions, peppers, cherry tomatoes and mushrooms with garlic and thyme in a pot.
Add flaked chicken or chicken strips if you want a rustic lasagne.
Set aside and make the sauce.
I make a cheese sauce with milk or fresh cream, cream of mushroom soup, garlic, grated cheddar, pepper and no salt as there is enough salt in the cheese and soup.
I start by melting butter or margarine in a saucepan together with the garlic.
Add the cream of mushroom soup and stir to a runny paste.
Pour milk steadily and stir continuously until it starts to thicken.
Add the finely grated cheddar cheese and stir to yummy thickness.
Sprinkle pepper on top.
I layer the lasagne as follows:
Cheesy mushroom sauce
Lasagne sheets
Cheesy mushroom sauce
Chicken
Repeat until all is layered in a casserole or lasagne dish
Add grated cheese and cherry tomatoes and carbonossi biltong on the top layer and bake in the oven until done.
Serve with cheesy pull apart bread or crusty garlic loaf and pickles.
Double the recipe to make two which can be frozen for another day….#mypastadream

I would so love to get this for my husband, he is a chef and has a manual one, but it’s rusted and old, I just can’t afford to buy him a new one, and it’s to make his famous lasagne (simple but I swear you haven’t lived until you’ve had it, ask anyone) also lasagne happens to be my absolute favorite, I’m basically Garfield reincarnated as an added advantage, it’s basically 4 winners because we always make enough lasagne to feed extended family everyone wins
