Fantastic machine
This machine impresses from the minute you take it out of the box. This is not a toy, but a top of the line pasta maker designed to do most ot the work and give great results. I could not believe that it could actually make ravioli.
Most important, however, is learnng how to make the dough correctly. If it is not dry enough you might have a problem with the finished pasta sticking. Going on line and watching a good video will get you over this hump and the rest is easy and fun. A definate plus is the ease of attatching the unit to the Kitchen Aid mixer.

best pasta ever
I never knew how easy it was to make fresh pasta at home until I purchased the pasta attachment for my kitchenaid . I had always invisioned making fresh pasta as an all day complicated and messy project . It wasnt like that at all. In minutes I had the best pasta ever with very easy clean up . The texture and taste is so much better than any store bought. My lasagna was melt in your mouth heaven. Thanks so much for this wonderful product.

Have to love it
I received my pasta excellence attachment set a few weeks ago and have had a lot of fun with it so far. The pasta recipe from the book worked fairly well and the time it took from starting the dough to rolling it into sheets took less than 1/2 hour, including the 15 minutes to let the dough rest. The ravioli attachment takes a little finesse and you have to make real sure it doesn't catch as it comes out the bottom and roll back through the gears (a real mess!) but I think I've mastered that too. I've made cheese, mushroom, chicken & mushroom, sausage and butternut squash ravioli. The only thing I'm still not sure on is how to make sure the ravioli pockets get full of filling and not air. All in all - love it!

Love my new pasta attachment
I recently purchased this pasta attachment set from Chef's, I couldn't be happier with the set. Works wonderfully, and the delivery was very quick. If you are thinking about ordering, think no more, pasta is excellent, so much better than store bought.

Best attachments
These attachments complete the Kitchenaid Mixer. They make the mixer so much more versitle and worth the money invested for both.

Great Product
It took me just one hour to get the hang of this. Now it is so fast and easy to make my own pasta. Finding the right recipe was much more difficult than using the machine. The recipe in the booklet didn't work well for me, but there are so many recipes online and my second try produced a great pasta.
I am on the older side and using simple ingredients 2 large eggs, 2 cups semolina flour and 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, produced the best pasta I have ever eaten.
I have purchased "fresh" pasta but it could not compare.
Anyone who doesn't try this is making a mistake.
I was concerned about the inability to immerse the attachments and whether they would clean up properly, and was surprised to find they cleaned up beautifully.
My kitchenaid is 25 years old and accepted the attachments without difficulty.
I and my family could not be happier! This was all good!
