It's so much fun and so easy to make our own pasta using the attachment set. While the tiny pasta holes can be hard to clean after each use, Kitchen Aid thoughtfully included a really efficient cleaning tool. It was a good, cost-effective alternative to the more expensive pasta attachment that required sheets of pasta to be rolled more precisely before shaping the pasta. For novices like us, these extruded pasta shapes are perfect. Simply make the dough out of flour and eggs, let it rest, then feed little balls of the dough through the attachment to get tasty, homemade pasta!
