Metal Gourmet Pasta Press Attachment for Kitchenaid Stand Mixer, Pasta Maker Attachment with 5 Interchangeable Plates, Spaghetti Bucatini Fusilli Large/Small Macaroni

What a fun attachment for my kitchenaid. We made pasta from scratch before but cut it by hand- so I love how uniformed our noodles become when running it through this extruder. It’s well made and feels really heavy duty. I like the interchangeable plates to make different noodle shapes. I appreciate that it comes with the multipurpose tool and cleaning brush for easier disassembly and clean up. The directions are easy to follow, the manual is very clearly written. I like the bonus recipes at the back to change things up and experiment in the kitchen. I think this product is a good value, the only thing I wish that it included is a roller that makes sheets for lasagna or ravioli.

Wow! What a treat for our family! The attachment was easy to assemble and easy to clean. The atrachment itself is nice and sturdy and fit beautifully onto my kitchen aid. Making the macaroni was tricky at first but once we got a good system down it was a breeze. The recipe in the manual is perfect and we made the most delicious homemade Mac and cheese!

Being able to make my own pasta using this attachment for my KitchenAid is great! I found this attachment easy to get set up and working when following the included instructions. I really like how solid this feels. The construction of the unit is all metal except the auger that is really thick plastic. The pasta shape plates are both metal and plastic as well. This set up allows me to make a nice variety of pasta shapes and everything is contained within the unit when not using.

Makes pasta making so much easier. And you can make all different types. The dough has to be super sturdy and cold or the pasta will stick together.

Made pasta with the granddaughter and niece this weekend for the first time and we had so much fun! We made a little of every size and had a mixture in our sauce. All the attachments worked very well, and ran very smooth. Easy to attach and figure out. I was questioning whether it would be worth it till I saw the size of the box. I say this is a very good value that we will be using again and again!

When it worked, it worked great. Then it broke on third use. An inspection after it seized up made the cause clear; the two mating internal worm gears that transmit the power (not the plastic auger) shattered in several places causing irreparable damage to the remaining teeth. I would like to imagine that this was simply a defective unit, but that is hard to believe when the gears seem to be made of a cheap and brittle alloy capable of shattering in the first place (quality steel should bend before breaking). This occured on the third use of the machine and using the recommended power and speed settings, etc. The gears are destroyed beyond repair and there are no replacement parts available, so I am now out $120 only two months into the purchase. If the manufacturer believes this was simply a bad unit and wants to send me a replacement, then I might consider updating this review; we shall see.(Edit was to fix typos)

Loving this! Ive been so hesitant to make my own pasta because I can never get it even and it doesn’t cook right. This machine is awesome- it was plug and play with my mixer- super easy to insert and remove. And my pasta can out great! I’ve made the rotini style and the tube spaghetti style and they have been very consistent and taste amazing.I was worried it would be hard to clean, but it’s actually very easy. It comes apart nicely and is easy to soak and clean out. The stainless steel really helps it clean off well.

When I first bought my Kitchen Aid mixer, I invested in the Kitchen Aid pasta attachments. The sheet roller broke after 1 use and Kitchen Aid refused to admit that they had produced a defective product. I then went on a hunt for a replacement pasta attachment that would actually work and last beyond one use. I am very impressed with this product. It is made of metal and has substantial weight to it. I like that there is one main component and 5 interchangeable blades- saves me valuable cupboard space. This is simple to use and the instructions are very clear and easy to understand. I like the variety of plates and they are all shapes that I will use. I wish there was a lasagna sheet plate but maybe this is something the company could think about adding in the future. There is a bit of a learning curve in using this attachment however. The dough cannot be either sticky or too dry in order to process through the plates correctly. It’s also important to note that after extruding two consecutive pasta dough recipes, you should allow your mixer to rest for at least one hour so as not to damage your mixer.I’m definitely more impressed with this pasta attachment than I was with the Kitchen Aid attachment and my family is happy that we’re back to having our own fresh pasta for our weekly pasta night.
