Workshop life · The pasta maker’s Journal

Life in the workshop: machines at the service of the craft

In a pasta workshop, artisan does not mean “everything made by hand”. Machines extend the pasta maker’s work, but they do not replace adjustment, observation or know-how.

Pasta Piemonte · the pasta-making craft in Menton

Artisan does not mean machine-free

An artisan workshop uses tools and machines. What matters is how the pasta maker prepares the ingredients, adjusts the equipment, watches the dough and intervenes throughout production.

A machine supports a technique

A roller, cutting system or dryer each answers a precise production step. In this section we will progressively enter the workshop and explain their role using the equipment actually used by Pasta Piemonte.

Observe before automating

A machine can make a technique more regular, but dough remains a material that must be observed. Artisan work means keeping direct control over production and the final result.
