Making Pasta - A Demonstration



Sam showed the children how the pasta
machine
 makes the dough very thin

MJ watched very carefully

No, not fish fillets!
This is the thin pasta dough which needs to dry before the next process

An attachment cuts the pasta dough into spaghetti

This attachment makes the pasta dough
into long strips



This is the finished product. It is a bit chunky because there was not
enough time to let it dry fully.
It tasted delicious though - the children ate the lot!

As well as making the pasta, the children used bought
pasta for this activity - taking turns to move it from
bowl to bowl with tweezers

These three shared the tools and persisted until
everything was sorted from the plastic bowl
to the smaller ones - well done!
