Product Description
Pasta Roller and Cutter Set
Amazon.com Review
If you have a passion for perfectly prepared pasta, try making your own delectable lasagna noodles, fettuccine, or linguine fini with this pasta roller set that fits all KitchenAid stand mixers. The three attachments include a pasta roller, a fettuccine cutter, and a linguine fini cutter. Just prepare pasta dough and form it into small rectangles which are then fed into one of the attachments. Out come uniform lasagna noodles, fettuccine, linguine, or angel hair pasta. The pasta can be enjoyed fresh or frozen or dried for later. Complete directions, cooking tips, and recipes are included, though cleaning the attachments can be a bit of a challenge, as they can't be washed in water, and any dried-on pasta particles must be removed with the included cleaning brush and toothpicks. --Marcie Bovetz

 AWESOME... if you have no counter space. July 30, 2010
Stephen Ressel (North Dakota, USA)
I purchased this 5 years ago and rave about it. Save your cash and don't buy the other two pasta attachments.
The roller is the best, though you could learn to roll your noodles with a wide dowel if you have the counter space. The attachment will thin the dough well, if your dough is well made, via several consecutive passes with thinner plate settings. 3 passes and you get great sheets. BE SURE TO FLOUR YOUR SHEETS. Putting unfloured sheets through the cutters will make headaches. I'd suggest sprinkling flour in all phases of pasta creation with these.
If you want to make thick egg noodles and ravioli, I recommend going cheap and old fashioned: roll the dough with these, use spaced wheel dough cutters, or for ravioli just spread filling on 1/2 of a sheet and use a ravioli rolling pin, then a dough cutter or knife.
With care, these three will make you excellent pasta noodles forever.
 I don't think I would make pasta without it July 21, 2010
James Talvy (Staten Island, NY)
I can't imagine using a manual hand crank machine to roll and cut pasta dough...
I rolled through setting 1 up to 10 or so times until the dough looked good to me.
Making the pasta with the paddle and hook didn't go so well for me but I would attribute that to me being an amateur rather then a problem with the machine or recipe.
All in all it performed just as I expected.
You will love being hands free July 20, 2010

I have a hand cranked pasta machine and although it was easy to use... this was so much better. You can be hands free in feeding the machine. It was so much cleaner and thanks to the horsepower of my kitchenaid.. supper fast.
works great July 17, 2010
T. Thompson (Scottsdale, AZ United States)
I've waited a long time to finally buy these pasta making attachments. I thought about buying a separate pasta maker with a motor, but the KitchenAid mixer works so well, I thought I'd try these.
I've made pasta twice with them using Mario Batali's recipe. The pasta turned out unbelievably delicious both times and it was not difficult to do. The attachments were easy to figure out and worked perfectly out of the box. I have absolutely no complaints and I am glad I finally invested in this equipment. I expect them to last many years.
Works just like it should July 12, 2010
Cheryl Baldwin (Central New York)
I must admit that I purchased this item with a bit of trepidation after reading the reviews. But what point is owning a KitchenAid mixer if you're not going to take advantage of the attachments? I tried them for the first time today and they worked great! Clearly KitchenAid has resolved the cleanliness issue mentioned by some, and I had no trouble with the recipe or the cutting attachments. I used Hodgson Mill pasta flour which appears to be half flour, half semolina. I did learn two things (1) it's best to cut the rolled pasta in half to reduce the length of the finished noodles and keep them uniform, and (2) you really do need to sprinkle the rolled pasta with flour to keep the sheets from sticking and to get a great cut. I'm going to assume that the attachments will hold up as well as my mixer, so I would recommend this item to anyone.
