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

Review #2: Kitchenaid Pasta Roller and Attachment set
2007-03-08
I can now make homemade pasta so easily with this set that attaches to my Kitchenaid mixer. It rolls the dough into 6-inch sheets as thick or as thin as I like to make lasagna or filled pasta like ravioli, tortellini or dumplings or it can cut the sheets into spaghetti or fettucini. It is easy and fun to use and very easy to clean. The quality is superb. I love everything about it!
Review #3: Amazingly easy to use
2007-03-08
I was exposed to this product in a cooking class. Now I cannot imagine why it took me so long to purchase it. Easy to use and easy to clean...I use the attachments all of the time to create delicious restaurant quality dishes in a quarter of the time it used to take me with the manual roller.
Review #4: High quality product
2007-03-08
product is built to last forever. Just like their mixer. It also works great.
Review #5: Now I'm a pasta making fool!
2007-02-15
Great product, well made and heavy (relatively)! Made great pasta from batch one, amd I have never made fresh in my life before. While people tell me I have some skills in the kitchen, I had no dream that just mixing the eggs and flour in the well method as I have seen Molto Mario and others do for years would come out so easily. Very soul gratifying combining and kneeding the ingredients by hand, and then after a 20-30 minute dough rest cooking your own handiwork.
I did not experience any problems with metal shards as some have said they encountered in their first few batches. I had even bought a lot of extra eggs figuring I would burn through more cause of same, but that was not the case. Mostly made the fettucine and linguini fini cuts, but also made some torteloni (need more practice on those manuevers).
I no longer will buy dry pasta unless its for a die cut like fusilli or cavatappi (my current fave), since it is so much more gratifying to make it yourself. It's simple, and not time consuming other than for the dough rest, but then you do have to boil water at some point!
I have also frozen the lingini afterwards, nesting it with some cornmeal to avoid sticking. Very quick and easy a la minute prep from freezer to boiling water.
I highly recommend, and will shortly get the the other 2 cutter set (KPCA) to complete this set. It will not disappoint! |
