Organisation when preparing pasta dishes
An image of pasta preparation using a pasta machine Before preparing a pasta dish, it is important to ensure that the appropriate cutting and shaping equipment is prepared and ready for use.
Pasta cutting and shaping equipment should be checked to make sure that it is clean and in working order.
Pasta machines should be kept clean, dry and well brushed (as the cheaper variety of machines will rust if washed).
Stainless steel pasta machines should be cleaned after each production or between different types of pasta( ie. spinach or tomato and white pasta).
