Tabletop Pastamatron

Somewhat inspired by the linked idea - the Tabletop Pastamatron.

Traditionally, pasta is extruded as a raw dough, then dried partially or wholly before being cooked and served. The Tabletop Pastamatron modifies this sequence of events. Each diner is presented with their own Pastamatron, with a series of different fitments to produce different types of pasta. They are also given a solid 4" cube of cooked pasta.

The cube of cooked pasta is placed in the hopper, the appropriate fitment is fitted, and the diner turns the handle, extruding the fully-cooked pasta of their choice directly onto their plate.

       How would you get a 4" cube to cook evenly?

       Pasta needs to be cooked in quite salty water to make sure it is properly seasoned by the time it has finished cooking. If you cooked a 101.6mm cube (or a 4" cube, for historians), only the outer few mm would be tasty.

       Not to worry - it can still feature on the Pasta Channel at a knock down price.

       Ah, I neglected to mention the companion products, the Pastamalgamator. Simply cook any pasta to your liking, then place into the hopper. Activate the hydraulic ram, and within a few moments a solid block of perfectly cooked, perfectly salted pasta will be ready for use in the Pastamatron.

       This idea makes us inexplicably uncomfortable.

       {Wonders how much modification would be required to an ordinary car-crusher to enable it to extrude [8th]'s cube as vermicelli}

       I prefer my pasta pairings to be extra-virgin, and so would have a pastamade (maid).

       Wait, don't you need vermin to make vermicelli? You know, like you need fuses for fusilli. I don't know why anyone would eat rigatoni.
