Can one purchase any attachments to make tube-style pastas with this machine? I'm not finding those on any sites.

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!

Annie, depends. I use my machine for rolling out gum paste for making flowers that I use in cake decorating, I do secure it, but not sure if it would be absolutely necessary. Have never made pasta with it. If it is convenient to secure it in your case, I would do it just to be sure.

Yes. You get the roller and two cutters-one for thick-wide noodles and one for narrow-angel hair pasta. If you need wider noodles cut the dough sheets by hand to the desired width. I absolutely enjoy this attachment set.

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.

It doesn't look like it. Seems odd to me that they would sell the two cutter attachments without the roller attachment. http://www.amazon.com/KitchenAid-KPRA-Roller-Attachment-Mixers/dp/B00004SGFS/ref=pd_sim_k_4 contains both of these cutters, along with the roller attachment. The set makes homemade pasta a breeze to make.

Yes. I love the machine and just used it this past weekend to make Organic Whole Wheat pasta. I have used various types of flour. Although easy to use you need to get used to the "adding water" process to get the perfect consistency. Its easy you just have to get the feel for it. Using different flours will effect how much or how little water you need to "trickle" in during processing.

I don't know. I have never used it. I have a separate pasta maker that I have had for years. A hand cranked appliance.

You have to have the rollers too. You roll out the dough and then use this. However, I used this in a pasta class and it did not work well. Got filling everywhere and a good percentage of the ravioli burst in the cooking pot because there will be a thin layer of filling between the pasta layers. A tray mold or just making them on the counter and using a cutting wheel or knife was easier, less messy, and you could make whatever sizes you want. Hope this helps!

I have the pasta attachment instructions for the DLC7 pasta maker and would be happy to send same on to anyone who wants it...I find the pasta maker much too difficult to assemble and haven't used it in over 30 years. Originally purchased for $125.00 at Marshall Fields in Chicago. I now am back to using a manual Atlas machine. Asiana

Your question should be addressed to the seller of the pasta machine. Click on the link "Kasbahouse" at the top of the page to write an email to the seller.

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.

It's a separate attachment. Kitchenaid sells a package called the KPRA WHICH INCLUDES THE PASTA ROLLER PLUS FETTICCINE AND SPAGHETTI ROLLERS. This is a supplementary kit for that one. You can also buy the roller separately. It's called the KPSA. Hope that helps.
