Enjoy Made-from-scratch Noodles with KitchenAid Pasta Attachments

Pasta Attachments

The KitchenAid mixer is a favorite tool of home cooks who love to bring their made-from-scratch creations to life, and not just for its ability to knead dough, mix batter, and whip cream. The mixer's available attachments can dramatically expand its potential. Among the most popular are the KitchenAid pasta attachments that let home chefs roll, cut, and shape fresh dough into professional-quality noodles. In fact, the KPEX pasta set has been the most popular KitchenAid attachment of the over 15 available. Each of these attachments can be used with any KitchenAid stand mixer.

  1. Pasta Roller

    2. The simplest KitchenAid pasta attachment is the KSMPSA pasta roller. This tool rolls pasta dough into thin, wide sheets that can be cut by hand into noodles for ravioli or lasagna, or sent through one of the available pasta cutters. Eight thickness settings give cooks fine control over how the pasta comes out.

  2. Pasta Cutter Set

    3. KitchenAid's two pasta cutter attachments come together in the KSMPCA attachment set. A lasagnette cutter creates thicker noodles, suitable for fettuccine and egg noodles. The capellini cutter creates thinner spaghetti or angel hair noodles. For best results, dough should be rolled out with the pasta roller attachment before being sent through either pasta cutter.

  3. Pasta Roller and Cutter Set

    4. The KitchenAid pasta roller and two cutters listed above are also available together in a three-piece kit. The KSMPRA pasta attachment set includes the KSMPSA roller and both cutters from the KSMPCA set. This collection gives home chefs all they need to make many popular types of noodles from scratch, including spaghetti, fettuccini, and lasagna. The KSMPRA set was half of the popular KPEX pasta excellence set, which you can read more about below.

  4. Gourmet Pasta Press

    5. The KSMPEXTA gourmet pasta press is perhaps the most versatile KitchenAid pasta attachment. Its six interchangeable plates create spaghetti, bucatini, large and small macaroni, rigatoni, and fusilli. A wire cutter gives cooks control over the lengths of the noodles.

  5. Pasta Drying Rack

    6. In addition to the many attachments, KitchenAid also offers a KPDR drying rack with a capacity for four pounds of fresh pasta. This handy tool helps users dry pasta quickly and evenly for storage or before cooking it.
