I used to make pesto using a hand-operated meat grinder
before I got the Braun stick blender with the food
processor attachment.

A few days ago on TV, I saw Lidia Bastianich make spaghetti
by running the dough through a meat grinder with a fine
plate and the cutter blade removed. That was clever!
It got me to thinking maybe there would be demand for
pasta extrusion plates designed to fit popular meat
grinders. A custom-made plate for pasta could extrude
hollow pasta like macaroni.

The plate could extend through the retaining ring,
so that as the pasta is extruded you could run a knife
flush against the plate to cut the pasta as it comes
out.
