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.

You cannot make stuffed pasta like ravioli or cannelloni with this attachment, but you can make rigatoni, which could then be stuffed. I can imagine using a pastry bag to pipe a filling into the rigatoni, then sealing the ends. My favorite Italian restaurant makes such a dish and it is fantastic. But this attachment is meant mainly for making the long or tubular pasta shapes, not stuffed pastas. Consider the ravioli attachment, but you would also need the pasta roller first to make the sheets. Good luck!

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.

I've owned several pasta machines, in addition to this one. I always expect to waste a batch of pasta dough by running it through the machine until the gunk is gone. After that, no problems.

No I have not tried the other attachments. I pretty much just use it to dice onions, tomatoes and garlic. I am sorry that I was not that much help.

No, we use it for all manner of pasta but I must say it doesn't work well. The consistency of the dough needs to be JUST RIGHT or the mechanism jams and shuts off. We used it three times and now it's sitting in the back of a hard to reach cabinet. Just too much of a pain to use.

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.

you will need to buy a seperate pasta roller as the ravioli attachment only makes the actual ravioli.. it does not roll the pasta...

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.

The Deluxe Pasta Queen that I have owned since 1989 appears to be just an earlier model of the Atlas 150 (made of chrome-plated steel instead of the Atlas 150's stainless steel). It came with the same detachable double-sided spaghetti/fettucine cutter that comes with the Atlas 150 today. My Pasta Queen DOES have flanges on each end to accept this sort of attachment (i.e., the cutters are NOT built in). This attachment SHOULD work just fine if you have the same Pasta Queen that I do that has the flanges at the ends to accept attachments.

I agree with the previous answer, it would work but it isn't as sturdy as the pasta insert but it would be fine.

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.

It cuts spaghetti size and fettuccine size and comes with pasta roller. I love mine and have no problems with it. I make a double batch of homemade noodles and freeze half of them for later.

No, it wouldn't work, it will "rice" potatoes or eggs, but they come out so short/small/fine, noodles wouldn't stay together, better off with pasta maker

I think it would depend on what size pasta you are making, some pasta will definitely slip through.

Works great for rice without the basket. Pasta is tricky, with or without basket, make sure it has room to roll with the boil, or it will stick together. I use it mostly for steaming veggies with water level below the bottom of the basket.

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