A process for manufacturing a die for pasta, having, inside a body (1) of metal alloy, at least one dough extrusion passage (13) provided with an input section (ta) and an output section (tp) that are concentrically and consecutively arranged in the extrusion direction and are joined in a connection transversal cross-section, has a step of manufacturing the input section (ta) with a material having a low coefficient of friction and the output section (tp), which is cylindrically shaped, with a metal alloy so that the input section (ta) has transversal cross-sections with an area larger than the transversal cross-section area of the output section (tp). The dies themselves, and their use in the production of pasta, are described.
