Pasta Roller

I have had a KitchenAid stand mixer since the 70s (yes, avocado green!) and it continues to perform excellently. I also have a few attachments that continue to work well over many, many years. I have wanted to make pasta and already have a good brand crank pasta roller. However it doesn't fit well on my counters, is a bit of a pain to use and subsequently I rarely used it. So I decided to change that. After researching pasta roller attachments, I decided on the "tried and true" KitchenAid one. And it is perfect! It fits my old mixer as advertised. And now I can make pasta very easily and quickly. And cleanup is just a quick brush with the brush that comes with it. Very satisfied!

I tried the Gvode and this roller easily out performs it. I am absolutely happy with it. Starting with the proper dough is a big part of success here. I followed Emeral’s recipient for semolina pasta dough; 2 1/2 cups (course) semolina flour, four large eggs, salt: mix, kneed, let rest wrapped for 1/2 hour . It will be a bit stiff. Smash it out to 3/8 or 1/4 inches thick before running it through at the first setting. I run it through and double it up and run it again a few times until it’s a homogenous, neat sheet. Then I’ll run it through at each more narrow setting until I have the thickness I need for each type of pasta I’m making. For tortellini or ravioli, I take it to the thinnest setting. You can see through it. It’s plenty strong too, as long as the starting dough is right. But beware, as each setting rolls it thinner, it gets longer. I cut the strip into manageable lengths as it grows. The coarse semolina flour works well. My pasta has a rich yellow color as well as making smooth and strong sheet. The resulting pasta grips sauces a bit better. Using a drier dough leaves almost NO mess in the machine. I have yet to have to clean it. The roller has a built in plastic part that is designed to break if something like a todler’s hand get pulled into it. It snaps to prevent making a 30 foot-long toddler noodle. Kitchen aid doesn’t sell the replacement part but someone reverse engineered it and it’s available for sale online. It’s a bit costly, but better than having to just throw the roller away. If I have any complaint about this product at all, it would be that kitchen aid would make this failsafe feature more known in its literature, as well as making the replacement part more available at say, $5 per. At this point people are simply tossing the broken rollers out or buying new ones. Seems like and easy oversight to fix. Anyway, a happy camper here. It’s absolutly easy to use ( if you have some experience rolling pasta to start with) and makes ravioli making fast ( if you have one of those pattern press thingys). It’s kinda fun, too. I hum Italian restaurant songs and play up the wee bit of Italian blood I have to the max... while drinking red wine. Thank you, ancestors, for all of this !

Dreamed a long time of this pasta roller attachment for my stand mixer and I'm very happy with it. The attachment is easy to attach to the mixer and it comes with a variety of thickness settings, so you can roll out the dough to your desired thickness. The roller itself is made of high-quality stainless steel (Made in Italy) and it's easy to clean. One of the things I like most about this attachment is that it allows me to make fresh pasta, lasagna and ravioli at home. The dough turns out perfectly every time and the finished pasta is delicious. It's a bit time-consuming to make the dough and roll it out, but it's worth it for the taste and satisfaction of making your own dish. Overall, I think the pasta roller attachment is a great addition to any kitchen. It's well-made, easy to use, and produces excellent results. If you enjoy making pasta at home, I highly recommend giving this attachment a try.

Works great - we like making our own noodles! Very heavy and high quality as expected from Kitchen-Aid. Fits our mixer perfectly.

I bought this instead of investing in the more-expensive pasta roller and cutter set. First, while I love Kitchen Aid mixer products and appreciate their value, I didn't think a $150 investment was really going to pay off for my household. Would we even use the three attachments enough to justify the cost? Second, I figured I could hand-cut the pasta or use a pastry wheel (and we also have one of those low-tech wooden rolling pins that makes tagliatelle--very cost-effective tool that doesn't take up much space), and I'd be able to make stuffed pasta as well. Third, I know from making pasta with my mom as I was growing up that the hand-cranked machines require you to have three hands. They may be traditional, but they're also kind of a pain. I know using an electric-mixer attachment may not be "traditional" but I can promise you that if my nonna and my mom could have used one of these, they would have. (In fact they'd have looked at you like you were crazy if you'd suggested that using this somehow betrayed their Italian heritage, or that they should keep using the more difficult hand-cranked machine instead of an electric one that saves mounds of time.) It works great. Follow the instructions, learn the consistency that dough should be before you put it in the roller--because if it's not dusted enough with flour it will stick and be hard to clean the rollers--and go for it. Homemade pasta is easier than even I thought it would be. As for this machine, roll the dough strips on a thick-ish setting a couple of times, then make the setting thinner, do it a couple times, etc. Cleaning is easy, assuming your dough is properly floured--you don't immerse this in water, just use the included brush. If some dough does stick, wait till it dries and then brush it off. I don't regret my purchase one bit. In fact I doubt I would've made homemade pasta without it, given my memories of struggling with the hand-cranked machines (which themselves were a huge improvement over just a rolling pin). Still on the fence about whether I need the cutter attachments, but I promise you this one is worth the investment.

Very good quality and precision; when it comes to pasta rollers I advise everyone not to but cheap products ( got first another product for 50% of the cost that was laminating and cutting tagliatelle and spaghetti all in the same piece... a total disaster and I had to throw it in the bin (I even made a review on YouTube). This is just like the one that came originally with the machine. If you are making your own tagliatelle, lasagne and spaghetti as often as a couple of times a week only use a sturdy and precise product, I promise it pays back.

Superb attachment for the KitchenAid. Having previously used a manual pasta roller, this attachment is faster, easier and more efficient to use, and produces wonderful pasta ... better than ever. Highly recommend.

The box received was too damaged for a pricey item. It should be handled with care as this is fragile, attachment must be perfect to fit the kitchenaid body. Still need to test the item, hopefully nothing has been damaged

Los productos de la marca son de excelente calidad y este rodillo cumple con lo prometido, incluye una brocha de limpieza. Yo la uso con una Batidora pro 600 sin problemas.

This pasta mill is made of good material and work perfectly in the Kitchen aid ecosystem. Very easy to work with! I never thought in my life that I would realize high quality Lasagna and Raviolis. For those who want to invest in food creativity and healthy meals , kitchen Aid offers you high quality tools.
