does it work well with pasta attachment?

Yes! The pasta attachment is amazing! I've made all of the shapes, but especially like the rigatoni style. Just be sure to check the manual for speed needed, as each shape requires a different speed. Also, after using it often, the best way to clean up, is to set all the pieces out over night and let the extra pasta bits dry in the plate. They will brush right out in the morning.

It's pretty small and the mesh is tight but the largest strainer could work depending on how much spaghetti you are draining. I would not try to use it for anything more than a couple of cups of pasta. I use mine for straining kefir.

It will not. Large shells and cavatelli are completely different types of pasta. There may be an extruded attachment for a kitchen aid stand mixer that will do that or there may be another brand of pasta extruder on the market that makes them .. Pretty sure that's an Italian American creation, the large stuffed shells. Make manicotti! :)

Yes, you can make a flat sheet for the width of the roller. In fact, that is the part of the attachment that I exclusively use. I make flat sheets and use a ravoli maker to make pierogies with this machine. I have not used the attachments for pasta yet. I hope that this helps.

Yes, i own this pasta machine and yes it will make tube pasta like Pene although, I have not used the Pene attachment yet. The attachment is for regular Pene and not Pene Rigate. This machine works great and it gets easier the more you use it. Clean up isn't too bad either. I hope this help. Thanks,D.

I use it and yes you'll loose some, but I'm ok with it. The 'shaped' pasta does better.

The pasta roller does the lasagna type noodles , the other roller cuts the dough in maybe 1/4 inch strips. or less. I have only used it for making crackers so far, but it does a wonderful job on those.. just thin enough to be crispy!.If the fettuccine is a bit wider than spaghetti -- then yes, this does cut that size too. I may actually do that this weekend.

It works great with the measurement height attachments on everything I've needed...roll out cookies and pie crusts. I'm sure it would be just as wonderful on pasta.

You will need to have a separate attachment to roll your pasta. To see how this works, there is an excellent video on YouTube with Peter Pasta http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dufoH9mFEeE

There are 3 separate attachments...you get a pasta roller which adjusts to 8 settings, a fettuccine cutter and a spaghetti cutter.

No way. It struggles with grissel. Get a cast iron one for that the plastic on mine wore out making pasta...

Well, first, you need a roller attachment to run the dough thru several times until you reach the desired thickness for the pasta, secondly, you'll need the pasta cutter which will cut the dough rolled out into various types of pasta, for example, fettechini, spaghetti. The pasta roller also acts as a lasagna roller. Most sets are sold in three pieces, the dough roller, and two attachments for various kinds of pasta. So, I recommend getting the roller and the two pasta cutters for various styles of pasta. Buying them separately is more expensive. Buy the three attachment set and save yourself some grief.

The set I have has cutters for linguine and fettuccine, typical widths for those pastas. The cutters are deep enough that I suppose you could roll a thick piece of dough and make thick egg noodles, but, yes, that would be a function of the roller, not the cutter. As far as I know, they don't have a noodle cutter for anything a wide as pappardelle. The noodle cutters also do a nice job cutting very thin pasta, and the roller has settings from 1 to 8, 8 being thin enough to be transparent. This attachment makes pasta-making very quick and easy.

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.

I use thin spaghetti and have no issues with it falling out of these holes. I did A LOT of research on it and bought this one specifically to take care of that problem. Problem solved!

no, the Marcato Atlas is a roller to roll out the dough flat...what you want is a pasta extruder...to see an example, search for "KitchenAid KPEXTA Stand-Mixer Pasta-Extruder Attachment" here on Amazon, and you'll see the difference. A lot of kitchen food processors have pasta extruder attachments for them...I have an old OLD Oster Kitchen Center from like the 70's, and I got a pasta attachment for it...haven't tried it yet, but I will now that I'm up and running with the roller...which is GREAT by the way! took practice, you can't just make perfect pasta the first time, you have to have patience to learn, but it is SO worth it!
