I purchased this pasta machine to make crackers. I just could not roll them out thin enough. This Pasta Maker totally solved my problem and I'm making the best crackers now. Will be moving forward to pasta soon. I am really enjoying using this tool. Would recommend it.

I have really had good luck with mine. I tried to grate all my "Italian" type cheeses like this. Hope it works out well for you.

Yes, with no problem. I have found whatever the cook time is on the package I put the water in and the pasta and cook for that amount of time, stir and add the same amount of additional time and the pasta comes out perfect! I've bought several Pasta Boats for family and friends and everyone loves them. It's the only "As seen on TV" item I've ever purchased that is worthwhile.

This Flour must be mixed with other ingredients in order to make any type of GF flour based recipe. I am a big fan of Annalise G. Roberts. Hers was the first GF Baking Classics Cookbook I bought. You must realize that GF flour mixtures are very delicate and I have found it best to buy ready made Pastas. However if you are an adventurous soul, go for it and good luck.

I have had mine for a little over a year. Love it!! Have had no problems with it. However, consistency of the dough is important for making successful pasta!.

I agree with the pasta being too moist. If it comes out of the cutter as a gooey mess all stuck together, try rubbing some flour on each side of the sheet of dough and running it through. The dough actually has to be fairly dry.I run it through the first step several times, then take it down one step at a time until it is the correct thickness. I dust with flour several times during this process as well.

Sorry for the delay. This looks like a great pack. Yes it has all you need. You use the pasta roller first. Then attach any of the other attachments to make the type of pasta you want. Looks like there is fettuccine, spaghetti etc. cutters. Also it has the Ravioli attachment, that's all you need. happy pasta making. You will notice the difference in taste and quality with your homemade pasta, and doesn't fill you up as much as store bought pasta. Yummy.. Naturally there are other attachments that you can buy. Such as the pasta extruder attachement to make large or small macaroni, fusili, rigatoni, bucatini, or spaghetti. Hope this is helpful Sorry for the delay. This looks like a great pack.

You should be able to find a pasta maker for this model. If you can't find it on Amazon, try the Kitchenaid website. They've got a ton of attachments for this mixer.

Not good for pizza, but for pasta it is great. Put in some lemon pepper when mixing up some dough.

Yes, my spouse has made pasta with it an it seems to work fine. She had to improvise as there were no directions with it.

Tom, thank you for your reply. I went to Grazia's website and asked the same question. Hopefully they will email the recipes to me. We'll see. Thanks again.

Nope- doesn't mix. Make pasta dough separately - you do the work! (but fun) --- then machine does great job of processing dough in to pasta-of-choice

I had to buy a new pasta machine because my Atlas did not fit with the Norpro Motor. I think I bought a Norpro pasta machine so they would be compatible. But it was worth it, because now I can make my homemade pasta in half the time and I can do it without my husband's help and no more sore arms.

I had the same problem so can't use the pasta boat unless I buy a larger capacity microwave. The sellers should indicate this issue on the packaging and advertisements. Since I got the 'Pasta Boat' for $9.99 (not from Amazon though) I decided to just deal with my loss. I'll be sure to purchase a larger microwave if and/or when mine dies; it's made to operate only with the turntable in place. It was a big disappointment that could have been avoided with the proper product labeling! The manufacturer should be ashamed. Maybe Amazon could help future buyers by adding this info to their product description. I had the same problem so can't use the pasta boat unless I buy a larger capacity microwave.

H. Curtis, I regret to say that I returned my machine. It was not a good pasta making experience. But, yes, one could make whole wheat pasta.

Hi Robin, this particular pot is great. At times when It's just two us. I use this pot to cook pasta, using just 8 oz. of pasta. Fill pot just over half, add some salt, bring to a rolling boil, add pasta, I cook the pasta just about 7 1/2 mins. Drain pasta into a colander,Sprinkle with Parmesan-Reggiano, Add A Ladle of sauce to the pasta and serve. This pot works great for pasta, it also works terrific to, again, for making homemade sauces. We love it. Let me know what you think, Ok?
