Yes, when I want my two young kids to help. They’re 9 and 11. Make the dough, roll it through the machine to get it down to thin, cut it and dry it. Homemade sauce, fresh pasta.
The important lesson here is about confidence. I reckon if you took some zero level home cooks and took them into pasta making, they could handle it. In that very moment you get to see a spark, then the magic happens. The same is true of bread making, sausage making and if you have the patience, brewing and cheesemaking.
