Pasta Perfetto
What It Is: If you love pasta, I can tell you right now that there’s no pasta like the kind you make yourself – it puts dried, boxed stuff to shame. If you’ve ever made pasta, I can tell you that it’s a huge, messy pain. That is, until now. The Philips Avance Pasta Maker is a countertop appliance that makes it a snap to make your own delicious homemade pasta in mere minutes. Simply toss in your desired ingredients, tell the machine how much flour you’re using, and it’ll start churning out sheets in a quarter of an hour. No muss, no fuss – as easy as it is to set up as it is to use and clean.
Who It’s For: Your health-conscious sibling, as a way to make pasta as healthy as can be. Your soon-to-be-married niece or nephew, as a perfect wedding pick. Your go-to family host or hostess, so they can serve up more homemade deliciousness at your next family gathering.
What It Costs: $299
Where It’s At: Hudson’s Bay.

I would love this pasta machine! I think it would be fun to try making my own pasta from scratch.
My sister would love this machine for her and her 2year old daughter! They both love cooking together and nothing better than fresh pasta!
Though it looks like a lovely pasta machine, we don’t really eat much pasta, so I don’t think I’d make room for the machine in my cupboard.
I’m not sure about buying a pasta machine (although, I’d love to test drive it!). I’d probably more likely buy an attachment for my Kitchen Aid mixer–I’m trying to make the most out of that baby!
I would love this for myself. If like to make some gluten free noodles for my son.
Pasta is one of my guilty pleasures. I would love that machine.
I would love to give this pasta maker to my husband ! He is a mad genius in the kitchen and would flip over something so clever as this !
My daughter in law who loves to cook would love this.
It’s nice but too expensive – I’ll stick to making mine by hand!
I would love to get this as a gift for someone who would then invite me to dinner!
Yes, my daughter would love this pasta machine – it would be perfect for their family. Thanks!

How did I miss this? Have you tried it? How tough is it? I do make my own lasagna noodles but not spagetti because it’s too fiddly. I bet this could tackle that no prob.
