Is it possible to create pasta at home that is just as fresh, al dente and scrumptious as the pasta you’ll find at a high-class restaurant? Philips thinks so, and with good reason. Its 7000 Series Pasta Maker makes up to eight portions of homemade pasta each time, handling every step of the process, from mixing the dough to churning out springy, ready-to-cook spaghetti, lasagna, fettuccine, penne and more.
For a limited time, Amazon is selling the Philips at a hefty $90 off its original price, making it a perfect pre-Black Friday gift or addition to the kitchen. Let’s take a closer look at how the 7000 Series Pasta Maker works its magic, and why it’s a great piece of equipment to have.

The Philips 7000 can be boiled down to what it calls ProExtrude technology, which may sound fancy. But it boils down to three simple, key components: a strong motor and metal mixing paddle, as well as interchangeable front panels for eight different pasta shapes, covering everything from angel hair pasta to penne.
Using this pasta maker couldn’t be simpler. Just follow the directions for adding the right amounts of flour (usually a combination of semolina flour and regular flour) and water, along with any other ingredients you want to use, like eggs, vegetable extracts or herbs. (It even comes with measuring cups!) Then, push a button and the pasta maker does the rest, including weighing, mixing and kneading the dough as well as extruding it. The result? Two to three servings of ready-to-cook pasta in around 10 minutes. You can’t beat that kind of fully-automated efficiency.
You won’t be short on possible recipes with the Philips 7000 Pasta Maker. The included recipe book can get you started on dozens of different types of pastas, and you can also use Philips’ HomeID app on your mobile device to access hundreds of recipes and how-to videos (not to mention recipes for other kitchen appliances such as air fryers and blenders). Thanks to its nonstick, dishwasher-safe parts, the pasta maker is just as easy to clean as it is to use. And if you want to make several batches in a row, you can clear out excess dough from the front panels with a simple push.
So, whether you want to take your pasta game to the next level or just want an efficient way to make a bunch of fresh pasta in a hurry, we recommend the Philips 7000 Series Pasta Maker. This machine gives you full control over the pasta-making process, without the added sweat and tears.
