HENDI Manual Pasta Maker for Fresh Tagliatelle and Fettuccine

A manual pasta maker turns dough into fresh sheets and strips without electricity. The dough is fed between two smooth rollers that press it into a flat ribbon. As the rollers turn, the gap between them narrows, thinning the dough to the chosen thickness. This gradual compression aligns the gluten strands, giving the pasta its characteristic bite and texture. The sheet is then passed through a cutting attachment that slices it into strands of uniform width, ready for cooking or drying.

To use the HENDI pasta maker, secure it to a worktop with the clamp provided. Turn the knob to set the roller gap from 0.2 mm to 2.2 mm, starting at the widest setting. Feed the dough through the rollers, folding and re-rolling until smooth. Reduce the gap step by step until the sheet reaches the desired thickness. Switch to the double blade attachment to cut the sheet into tagliatelle (2 mm) or fettuccine (6.5 mm) strands. Dust the pasta with flour to prevent sticking and hang or lay flat to dry.

The unit is built from stainless steel and aluminium, chosen for durability and resistance to corrosion in a kitchen environment. The rollers and blades are precision-ground to maintain even pressure and clean cuts. A single knob on the side adjusts the roller gap, while the double blade attachment snaps into place without tools.

The compact footprint of 180 mm by 130 mm fits on most worktops, and the 2.9 kg weight allows it to be moved or stored when not in use. The maximum pasta width of 140 mm accommodates standard dough batches without trimming. Table mounting keeps the unit stable during operation, reducing vibration and ensuring consistent results.

Cleaning is done by brushing off dry flour and dough residue after each use. The rollers and blades can be wiped with a dry cloth; water or detergent should not be used to avoid damaging the metal surfaces. The knob and clamp should be checked periodically for tightness to maintain smooth adjustment and secure mounting.
