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.
