The Pasta Making Challenge is a recurring challenge in Hell's Kitchen.

Overview

For that challenge, Ramsay has both teams make pasta from a pasta machine with a certain time limit. Once both teams completed making their pasta strands, they must have one person from their team hold the pasta on their arms/body. Once time was up, Ramsay will look at the pasta from each team and accept them if they match his standards before placing them on a scale. The team with the most weight wins.

This challenge tests the chef’s ability make pasta to Ramsay’s standards and how fast they can do so.

The red team had a gondola tour with cheese and wine while the blue team had to make pasta for the Pasta Night dinner service.
