14 Christmas Gift Ideas for Pasta Lovers

Do you know someone who loves pasta more than they love people? Then this gift guide with gift ideas for pasta lovers will be the perfect way to start! 14 different gifts for all price ranges that your pasta lover friend or family member will love!

If your friend, relative, parent, child or anyone you know, loves making fresh pasta, then this list will be very useful to find the perfect Christmas gift!

When someone thinks about pasta, the immediate gift idea that comes to mind is a pasta machine or a rolling pin. But that's just the tip of the iceberg! There are so many beautiful and useful products you can get on Amazon related to making and serving pasta, that you can certainly surprise him/her with an unexpected yet perfect gift!

I divided the gift ideas into 4 parts: to make fresh pasta, to serve pasta, and to show your love for pasta. All 3 categories have 4-5 gift ideas with prices ranging from 10$ to 180$. So whatever your budget is, you can find something suited for you! (Please note that the prices may differ from what is mentioned in the post, this is set by the vendor and it's out of my control.)

TO MAKE FRESH PASTA

These gifts are perfect for the person who loves to get his/her hands dirty and make handmade pasta from scratch! Maybe they took one class and loved it so much they want to start making it at home too. Or maybe they're already making fresh pasta often but they don't have all the necessary tools yet.

These are my favorite picks:

1. Marcato Pasta Machine 70$ - This is the classic Pasta Machine, so useful for many pasta shapes like Ravioli or Tagliatelle. It's the original Italian brand (together with Imperia) which is used by almost every pasta maker in Italy.
2. Philips Pasta Extruder 180$ - This is a new modern version of the classic bronze extruder used to make semolina pasta (just like the dried ones you can buy in the grocery stores). This is used to extrude pasta shapes like Rigatoni or Penne.
