Pasta Roller Attachment Set (3-pc.) by KitchenAid

This attachment set, like all Kitchen Aid products, is made extremely well and is meant to last a lifetime. That being said, the cost is a bit expensive if you don't look at it as an investment. The roller and cutters are extremely easy to use and once you eat fresh, homemade pasta, any thought about the cost of the attachments goes right out the window. I made pasta 4 times in the first week I had it! the clean up is pretty easy - just keep the attachements well floured while making the pasta and it will be a breeze. I highly recommend this product, Do read the instructions several times before beginning. It will save you time in the end.

I went to a cooking school in Italy. We made pasta and it took 3 hands. One to turn the roller and 2 hands to guide the fresh pasta out. I live alone and decided to enlist the help of my Kitchenaid. Once I got the hang of it, it was a breeze. I love my Kitchenaid and all the wonderful things it can do!

The pasta roller and cutters work terrific. However; they are expensive and if you truly like homemade pasta (far superior than store bought), then worth the price. I found a pasta recipe on-line that uses equal amounts of semolina flour and white flour that makes perfect pasta. It took me about three batches to get it perfect and learn of the tricks for ease of use. Originally I had the grinder with pasta plates and it was an absolute disaster--shame on Kitchenaid for selling such an inferior, non-functioning product. The pasta rollers are excellent.

I bought this for my husband, the pasta-maker in our family, to make it faster to whip up fresh pasta for our family. He LOVES it! It makes it easier for him to manipulate the dough (which was previously mixed up quickly in his KitchenAid stand mixer). It always took a lot of extra time to get our cramped workspace cleared and the hand-cranked pasta roller set up. Now all he has to do it put on the attachment and homemade pasta is ready within 30 minutes on any night of the week. We should have gotten this when we got the stand mixer. It is used often! It is a bit pricey, but worth every penny to have fresh pasta in very little time!

I think it would be better priced at the $79.00 range. Will have to make a lot of pasta to recover the cost. Other than than excellent accessory.
