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.

Depends on how much pasta. I use it to steam a whole head of cauliflower and it does it perfectly. I don't know as my boys don't eat pasta :( so we don't eat pasta. I think it would be fine as long as it is the smaller noodles.

The attachment did not work well at all. It was very difficult to use. I found it easier to roll out the dough,stuff and place in ravioli dish and cut with pastry cutter.Size was about 1 inch-very small.

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

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 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.

Using the pasta attachment allows you to keep the thickness uniform. Might not turn out that way with a rolling pin.

I have not experienced any problem with the pasta maker. It has performed great. Glad I bought it.

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

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!

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

I bought this pasta roller for making Pappardelle pasta. Yes, I suppose I could roll out a flat sheet of pasta and then cut it wider into Pappardelle shape, but I wanted to do it this way. I really love making pasta, and this is just one more "toy" for me.

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 but I wouldn't really recommend this product. I think the pasta comes out mushy or all stuck together. It's easier to wash a pot...

I believe it will. There's an accessory drive on the front of the unit, and as long as KitchenAid makes a pasta attachment you should be in business.

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.

Yes !!! Works very well on just about anything you want to cook in it . Just don't overload it with too much pasta , it will expand and that is a narrow pot .
