I decided to purchase this attachment set: KitchenAid pasta roller set because I wanted to be able to make any kind of pasta: spinach, semolina, whole wheat, egg-free etc, and not be limited toa small number of recipes that were sure to work well with the plates. It has worked like a charm.
Even the egg-free spinach pasta, which was very dry and crumbly to start, came out perfect. The widest setting on the KitchenAid KPRA pasta roller works to knead/roll the dough until its pliable enough to continue. Its amazing how such flaky dough can become so evenly mixed with minimal effort. From this point, its just a few more settings until you’ve got angel-hair thin dough.
It is important to use the cutter before the ends of your dough dry out, lest they will clog the cutter. Pasta is my favorite food, and this contraption makes it possible to make my own healthy, delicious pasta recipes at home, quickly! I have had every kind of pasta roller - the chrome manual kind, the one that does everything (mixes, extrudes) and now, the KitchenAid KPRA Pasta Roller Attachment for Stand Mixers.
I LOVE it. OK, it’s official… I’m a cooking gadget addict, and these pasta rollers are the perfect fix! It’s so much fun to roll out your own fresh and tasty pasta. I found the set to be sturdy, superb quality, and extremely easy to use. I love having my hands free to hold the dough going in and coming out and not having the manual roller shift all over the place.
I am amazed how thin I can make the dough - tissue paper-thin. If you love to cook from scratch and appreciate a good gadget you’ll probably find these worth the cost.
