The Tescoma Universal Dough Press operates manually. The process generally involves preparing your dough, loading it into the press, and then turning the handle to extrude the dough through the selected disc or nozzle.

1. Preparing Passatelli

1. Prepare your passatelli dough according to your recipe. The dough should be firm enough to hold its shape but pliable enough to be extruded.
2. Select one of the two pressing discs designed for passatelli (refer to Figure 2).
3. Fill the transparent cylinder of the press with the prepared dough. Do not overfill.
4. Attach the bottom cap with the passatelli disc securely.
5. Turn the handle clockwise to press the dough through the disc. The dough will emerge in strands.
6. Use a knife to cut the passatelli to your desired length as they emerge, directly into boiling broth or onto a floured surface.
