Fusilli A3:
One of the most famous noodles in Germany is fusilli. They are often called Spirelli, Rotini and rarely Eliche.

The word fusilli comes from the Italian word “fuso”, which means spindle.

In manual fusilli production, spaghetti is still wrapped around a spindle.

According to legend, fusilli were invented at the court in Florence around 1550. The cook's son sat under the kitchen table and played with fallen pasta scraps that he wrapped around a knitting needle. These were the first fusillis.
Not quite as clear, but much more likely, is the story that the Fusillis originated in southern Italy. At some point, spaghetti began to be rolled up in a spiral for drying, as this rotation made it much easier to dry and store.

What is undisputed is that the twists mean that the sauce combines particularly well with the pasta. Fusillis are easy to dry.

Fusillis are available with 2, 3 or 5 wings. You can see how many propeller blades the Fusilli has by the die shape and also the die name. Ie a Fusilli A2 has two wings, an A3 has 3 wings, an A5 has 5 wings.

Tagliatelle 8mm/1mm thin

Tagliatelle are traditionally made with eggs in Emilia Romagna, Italy.
The name comes from the Italian verb “tagliare”, meaning “to cut”. I.e. Tagliatelle is pasta cut into strips.
Tagliatelle in general are always between 6 and 8 mm wide.

While in Germany Bolognese is traditionally eaten as “Spaghetti Bolognese”, in Italy it is traditionally eaten as a Bolognese sauce together with tagliatelle. Try it out!

Gnocco Napoletano grande (scallop pasta)

This pasta use for pasta production is gnocchi/nocken/nockerl from the Campania region with the capital Naples. The shape was inspired by classic potato gnocchi.
The gnoccho napoletano grande are the large version (there is also a smaller version), which is a real all-rounder: whether it's a pasta salad, a side dish or a main course with sauce... This pasta almost always works.
This format is also easy to dry.

If you are unsure whether your model fits the dies, please send us a message, preferably with a photo of your pasta machine. We will respond to you promptly and tell you which matrices are right for you.

POM is the abbreviation for polyoxymethylene, a guaranteed food-safe plastic. This is exactly the same material that is used in the Philips pasta maker matrices.

POM has the advantage that it doesn't weigh much and you can put the matrices in the dishwasher for cleaning.
Please note that the matrices are manufactured using micro milling. This is a complex process that enables delicate shapes. But small scratches from production and minor chips may be present, these are inevitable when using POM.
It is always advisable to add a little more liquid than the pasta maker indicates and to only use cold liquids. The dough should be moist and crumbly. You can find a standard recipe for our matrices here.

What else should you know?
All of our matrices come from the Pastidea brand. Pastidea is an Italian company with years of experience in designing pasta matrices. Why an Italian company? Italians simply know the best about pasta and the like and know what to pay attention to. The design of a die is done by the Trafilaio, which translates to something like a die designer. A good Trafilaio knows exactly where on a die a little bit needs to be milled away so that the pasta has the right curve later. Maurizio of Pastidea has mastered this art par excellence.

Immerse yourself in the world of your own pasta production with your palate friends. The taste of fresh homemade pasta is incomparably good.
