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.

The dough needs to be soft to work with this pasta maker. Thick dough will not press through it. If the dough is the right consistency, this product works well.

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! :)

If you are a twirler then prob. not. But like me if you are a scoop and slurp then not to bad.But for other pastas like macaroni it just fine. Plus I find it works just fine for sticking mostmeats as well. Raven

The Ravioli Attachment is not actually operated by the Kitchen Aid mixer. The mixer simply securely holds the device. My first couple attempts were not pretty, but with a little practice, I was soon turning out very nice and uniform raviolis. Proper thickness of the pasta is key, as is uniform loading and packing the hopper.

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.

Yes! It works great for steaming vegetables as well as using to cook and drain pasta.

I have made pasta with it. The noodles are kind of thick (I tried the spaghetti and fettucini nozzles) but I love homemade noodles! I have done shaved ice for snow cones too. No problems with it at all. I have not tried amy nut butters or anything with it though.

I don't think it would work very well for that purpose, but I've never used a pasta pot before so hopefully someone else will answer your question better. It's an awesome steamer! ;)

My daughter wanted this and she has used it several times. I'm thinking that if I had the kitchen aid I would just get the attachment. But This machine does work good, especially for the money. It's kind of loud but it made good pasta. It's a little time consuming because you have to stand there and wait for the pasta to get the right length then cut it off with a knife. As I would assume you would have to do with most machines. Just depends on what you are looking for. We havent used it a lot so it's hard to give a good opinion on if you plan to make a lot of pasta. I'm definitely not unhappy with the purchase. Hope this helps. My daughter wanted this and she has used it several times. I'm thinking that if I had the kitchen aid I would just get the attachment.

No way. You need something like the KitchenAid KPEXTA Stand-Mixer Pasta-Extruder Attachment (it sounds like you're talking about extruded shapes rather than flat cut shapes for which KitchenAid KPRA is excellent though the included recipe is dull and will not make pasta any better than what you can buy, so why bother? Michael Ruhlmann and Wolfgang Puck pasta recipes work well.

It does.... but you have to cut it size. Don't waste your money on this machine. Its very noisy and hard to make the pasta come out correctly. Hard to use. Good luck

can you use other attachments on this kitchen aid, like the pasta and griner meats?????

It slides on to the press on the same tabs as the fettuccine/spaghetti attachment that came with the press. It attaches very nicely and works well.

This set of attachments don't make stuffed pasta but they do offer a ravioli attachment that will allow you to make many different types of stuff pasta recipes. They will all be in a ravioli shape but you could put any type stuff in them.

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.

It's slim pickings for attachments for the 180 mm Atlas pasta maker. There are tons of different attachments for the more common 150 mm version. Many people prefer to manually cut their pasta to width with a chef's knife anyway. That's to say, roll the pasta dough to thickness, make into a roll and cut to desired thickness. Might actually be easier than a contraption. If you are interested in learning more about making your own pastas, there are some great online courses at craftsy dot com. The guy is an instructor at Culinary Institute of America, so pretty accomplished.
