A pasta machine is used to create laminated pasta. They typically consist of two stainless-steel rollers with adjustable settings, which knead and stretch the pasta dough.

Pasta machines are often sold with an additional removable cutter that creates pasta shapes such as spaghetti and linguini. Pasta machines are available in most kitchen stores and/or Italian delis. Basic pasta machines are fairly inexpensive. There are also many different attachments available, from different-shaped cutters to attachable motors.
