I need a recipe for an old Takka pasta machine?
Just a basic pasta recipe. I have the original measuring cup but can't remember how much semolina flour to use or how long to let it mix.
Answers:
Here is a basic pasta recipe and it's followed by a great tasting spinach pasta recipe.

Combine all ingredients, except water, in food processor. With processor running, add enough water to form a firm ball of dough. Remove from processor; cover and let rest for 1 hour. Cut into golf ball size pieces. Dredge with flour and put through pasta machine. Use wide strips for lasagna or ravioli or put through spaghetti cutter. Use immediately or dry for future use. Freeze pasta if not used within a day or two.

Pasta should extrude smoothly.

You can also prepare carrots or red beets, cook and then puree' in a food processor or blender and use the same amount of puree' as the spinach recipe.
