"Awesome Pasta!"
This pasta maker works so well. I had never made pasta before and even the first batch came out perfect. I use semolina flour and used the recipe on the package. I really like having both hands free and not having to crank. I can't imagine trying to handle the dough and having to crank at the same time. This set of a roller and two cutter is very versatile. I can make lasagna noodles and fettucini from thick to thin and spaghetti (regular all the way down to really small). Great product!

"Works great!"
This product works great! The Peter Pasta video (cooking.com and uTube) was great to show how to use it. It is simple! I read the reviews of the various past options from KitchenAid and this one got the best reviews - and they are right! We made ravioli and fettucini so far with great success. We just used a simple VillaWare 10 square ravioli maker along with this product and were delighted. The only negative thing is that I opened the pasta maker, put it in my sink to wash it before I saw the label to not submerged the parts. So, a word of caution - don't submerge the parts!

"Lovin' it!"
I received the pasta rollers as a birthday gift in June and I'm still lovin' it! I've used it numerous times in the short time I've had it. I absolutely love the lasgna noodles that this creates. I also have the mixer attachment pack (that comes with the pasta plates) and I have to say that this is 100% better than the other one! Even my son and husband enjoy playing with the pasta rollers. The pasta rollers have been a fun, new adventure in my kitchen!

"It's so easy, and delicious too! "
Little by little, I am learning to make our food from scratch. It's challenging, fun and the results are usually terrific.

This is the second Kitchen Aid attachment I've purchased (the first was the ice cream maker which is great also) and we're very happy with it.

I have made pasta from scratch without a pasta maker. Mixed the dough, kneaded the dough, rolled out the dough and cut the dough. That was a big job! The noodles tasted good but it was very hard work - I don't know how our grannies did it. :-)

Making it in your Kitchen Aid mixer is a snap. You mix and knead the pasta dough in your KA, wrap in plastic or cover with a damp towel for 15-20 minutes then roll and cut. If you go to the KA website they have a forum and I found a bunch of great recipe on there and there's a video on YouTube that shows you just how to do it.(search 'pasta Kitchen Aid' and you should find it) Other then the resting time it took less then 10 minutes and the pasta was SO good. Next we're going to try part whole wheat pasta and then fresh basil pasta.

I did make a test batch first (one cup flour with water to make a dough) in case there was any flaking/oil as some other reviewers have mentioned. There was one drop of oil but no flaking so it's a good idea just in case. It'll also give you a good idea of how to work everything. It was easy to clean with the included brush.

Wonderful and highly recommended!


"excellent"
None of the metal shaving problems with mine. Works great out of the box. Easy to clean.

What our customer's say!

"Great Product!", After reading the reviews about cleaning this product, I am pleasantly surprised! My daughter and I mixed up a recipe of the basic dough in the handbook, and it came out great! Very easy to use, and no problem cleaning. I think it depends on the consistency of the dough as to whether or not dough gets stuck. Definatly a great product, there's nothing better than fresh pasta!

"pasta perfection", For many years I relied on my tried and true hand-crank pasta machine. Didn't need any new-fangled gadgets. Well, I listened to a friend rave about the KitchenAid attachment, noticed the dust on my hand-crank machine, and decided to give it a try. Armed with my never-fail Marcella Hazan pasta recipe I made a lot of fettucine in a very short time. I especially appreciated the fact that you have two hands to work the dough with, since you don't have to crank. A real winner.

"Pasta Roller", Used the KitchenAid pasta roller for a new mixer I bought and loved it.
I also bought the pasta maker that grinds meat as well, i found that the roller set works much better. The rollers don't heat up as the extruder does, and the extruder seems to make the mixer motor hot.

"LOVE IT", If you love being in the kitchen, love cooking, and love your KitchenAid, these rollers you will also love. It was fun making my own pasta and it tasted sooo much better than store bought. You can't screw it up, either. Easy to use, easy to clean, a no-brainer. Sure, you can buy a bag of pasta for a buck, but spending the money on these is worth it if you love cooking and doing this stuff and also appreciate home made foods with no ingredients you cannot pronounce!

"do what they should", These rollers perform exactly as they should. no issues. we use them about once a week. they do require some TLC, but that's expected with things that have flour mixed in with mechanics.

"Great Pasta", The wife and kids made pasta all weekend when we got this thing! Loved it!!

"Pasta Roller Review", While I've owned a Stand Mixer for a year or so, I never thought of making my own Pasta,I remember all the work my Mom use to do making her own with a Manual machine. Then a friend of mine got the set for a birthday present. So my Wife & I went over his house for dinner to see how it worked, I ordered mine the next day.

Very easy to use, The dough roller is the greatest and I've even used it to roll the dough out for making Raviolis. The key is in mixing up the Dough. I use 3 Cups Flour to 3 large eggs with a tablespoon of water, I 'borrowed' this off somebody on You-Tube and it hasn't failed me yet. The Kitchen-aid Recipe just doesn't get it, The dough comes out too wet and then you're forever adding flour to get it just right.

HOW IT WORKS

Step 1

You Attach the Rollers to the Mixer, After of course Mixing your Dough in the Mixer Bowl. Start the Mixer on Speed (2) Then you tear of a chunk of dough, flatten it out with your palm. Make sure the Rollers are set at (1) and feed your dough thru, Fold in Half and repeat about 4-5 times, Then set the Rollers to (2) and Feed once or twice Then Set Rollers to (3) and Feed and so forth until you are satisfied with the end result. I'd highly recommend getting the pasta rack to hang the sheets of dough and also the cut pasta once you get to that point, It beats laying it out on the counter and it's cheap enough not to break the bank.

Step 2

After you get all your dough rolled out, It's time to cut it. Remove the Dough Roller from the Mixer and attach the Cutter of your choice. Spaghetti or Linguini - Attach it to the mixer and turn on the mixer to speed setting (2) - Feed your dough sheet thru and out comes Spaghetti/Linguini noodles. Throw them in a pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes and Bon Appetite.

Step 3

Never Clean the Rollers with Water -- Basically if the any hard dough left on, It just falls off if you shake it.

The only thing I don't like, Is I always forget to reset the roller when starting to roll a New piece of dough. Too bad they don't have some kind of automatic reset. For those that don't know what I mean, You start by feeding your dough on the widest roller setting (1) and work your way up. Setting (5) is usually fine with me, But it does go all the way to (8) I believe.

All in All it takes me about 45 minutes to make up a batch of fresh pasta, And that's with letting it sit in the fridge for 15 minutes after mixing. I made a batch last night that I thought was just Ok, My Wife kept saying how fresh the noodles were and what a difference it was over the dry Box Pasta. So I guess that's good enough for me.

"Mmmm...it's awesome!", I enthusiastically endorse this pasta-making attachment set for KitchenAid mixers.

I've tried the extrusion-style pasta makers. I've tried the hand-crank machines. I've never had good results making pasta until I tried this approach. You get one pasta sheet roller and two pasta cutters, all three impressively solid of construction. The process is just 3 steps:

(1) Make pasta dough, which can be as simple as plain old all-purpose flour, egg, water and salt. This can easily be done in the bowl of your KitchenAid in less than 5 minutes. I have the smallest, 300-watt model, about 20 years old, and it works just fine.

(2) Mount the roller attachment in the power hub at the front of your KitchenAid, and run your dough through repeatedly to get sheets as thin as you wish.

(3) Switch out the roller attachment for either of the cutters (spaghetti or fettucine), to cut your pasta sheets into individual noodle strands.

One of these days I'll probably pick up an inexpensive pasta drying rack, but until then I'm doing fine twirling the noodles into nests or letting them dry on plastic clotheshangers.

The owner's manual comes with five recipes to get you started: basic egg pasta using ordinary all-purpose flour, semolina egg pasta, light wheat pasta, whole wheat pasta, and spinach pasta. I had excellent results from my very first batch, and experienced none of the problems with initial oil or metal contamination in the roller and cutters that others have reported. I have found the equipment easy to clean after use. I see no reason why these tools couldn't be used effectively to make other kinds of noodles, or pasta sheets for ravioli or lasagna. Plus, it's so darn fun that you will want to invite a friend or some kids into the kitchen to make pasta with you. My experience is that fresh spaghetti cooks in 2 to 3 minutes, so it's hard to imagine a fresh dinner that could be made any more easily.

If you are curious about how these attachments work, several videos are posted on YouTube which demonstrate the process. Go for it--you won't regret it! Once you have tasted your own fresh pasta, the dried stuff from the store will taste like the cardboard box it came in.

"Fantabulous", After watching a Top Chef episode where one of the contestants made fresh pasta for her lasagna, to rave reviews, I became inspired to make my own as well. This made it a cinch. I used the recipe included in manual and followed directions. I was very nervous but this was a breeze. I had no residual gunk on my pasta as other reviewers have had. It did a beautiful job and was very forgiving when I did not feed dough as straight as I could have. Just a note, I did require more water than was asked for in the recipe but I was clear, per instructions, that the dough could not be sticky so that was my guide. Buy this now!! Fresh pasta is so much better than store bought.

"Yankee pasta!", I had not one problem with this the first time I made pasta in it. Everything came out perfect! I had read other reviews and had my doubts but no specks of metal nor anything else. I followed the directions to a tee and my fetticini came out perfect - tonights supper.
