KitchenAidKSMPRA Stand Mixer Attachment Pasta Roller & Cutter, 3-Piece Set, Stainless Steel

I added the KitchenAid Pasta Attachment to my collection of kitchen gadgets. As someone who loves cooking from scratch, this attachment has made the process of creating fresh pasta incredibly easy and fun (especially with the kids).The attachment is compatible with my KitchenAid stand mixer, and it was simple to install. It comes with two pasta roller cutters (for spaghetti and fettuccine) and a roller for flattening dough into sheets. The instructions were clear, and I was able to start making pasta right away.The results are amazing! The pasta dough rolls out evenly and smoothly, and the cutters produce perfectly shaped noodles every time.The only minor downside is that it requires a bit of practice to get the dough consistency just right, but once you get the hang of it, the process is smooth and enjoyable.

I'm an enthusiast level cook. Also Italian and I've been making pasta with a manual machine for...decades! I don't know what I've been waiting for to getting an attachment for my KA 7 quart mixer.This attachment is nothing short of excellent.First, forget all the... foolish reviews that cite difficulty in cleaning. Neither the rolling or cutting units require ANY cleaning other than maybe blowing an wiping with a dry towel.The trick - and I'm just guessing what people are doing wrong - is to make a slightly moist mix of approximately 100 grams flour and 60 grams combined eggs and water. This is also a good amount per person. If you have big sons that eat three helpings, you'll have to double the amount! After a few minutes of kneading it should be plastic almost like silly putty, maybe a bit more resistant. Be sure to rest it at least 30 minutes.I always used the one handful/one egg like my momma used to do. This resulted in dough that was usually too dry. If you don't have a scale, get one. Anything involving flour needs to be weighed!The last advice is to flour the dough at every pass and flour after the last pass. 7 is a good thickness for fettuccine. I love a good 1/2" hand cut pappardelle: just fold the slabs and cut by eye. a slight irregularity is wonderful. I recommend this for smaller quantities as it's much more time consumingI was amazed at the solid, heavy unit. The fit and finish is great and the mount (for all the attachments) is nothing less than superb. My "production" speed without having to turn the handle with one hand and feed with the other is fabulous! I wish I had done this years ago.Don't hesitate! Buy the real KitchenAid version!One final hint. When cutting the pasta: place a cutting board under the cutter and move it a couple of inches after every 12-14" slab is cut. I take a handful of flour with one hand and feed the sheets of dough with the other. Dust each pile of fettuccine lightly as you go: feed, dust, move the cutting board and repeat. (I was a manufacturing engineer is another life).PS I don't own stock in, nor was I paid by Kitchen Aid - LOL - Enjoy!PS AP flour will work fine, or a fine Duram flour, 00 flour. Any artisan bread flour is perfect. And do yourself a favor and buy organic. Check out Central Milling. Whole wheat will work, but it's not as delightfully decadent in mouth feel.

haven't tried it yet but love it

My wife loves them. Helps he make so many new things. Easy to used and clean.

muy biena

Love it very easy to use

I love this attachment. It is wonderful quality and I use it all the time. It helps do the most time consuming part of making pasta. The only downside I would say is you can’t really clean it. But overall it is good quality and I would recommend!

If you have a KitchenAid and love pasta as much as I do, this pasta cutter is a game changer. You can have fresh pasta on hand pretty much whenever you want it.
