    Impossible Pasta!
    The pasta I made is completely gluten free and grain free since I used red lentil flour! I have wanted this attachment for some time now but I was concerned that a wheat free dough wouldn’t work, would be too sticky, or wouldn’t run through.I have not had commercially made pasta in over 4 years since my body went haywire from a worsening chronic illness and suddenly could no longer eat wheat/gluten or corn. Within 6 months my life had been dumped on my head. I would react to the corn added into salt and even in tap water, leaving me in excruciating pain and violently sick. Also because of my chronic illness I have very low energy levels and get worn out exceedingly easily. So even though I figured out my pasta dough a couple years ago I rarely make it because it is so physically demanding. Plus I specifically missed macaroni noodles.I was thrilled to see the orange dough coming out of the machine the first time! It will certainly take some practice to get the noodle lengths correct but that’s not a big deal at all. I think my dough is still a little too sticky as the large macaroni kept regularly sealing on the end. Next time I’ll add a bit more flour to see if it works better. Red lentil flour makes for a sticky dough anyway simply because it is not wheat so it behaves differently. Out of all my tests of the kinds of flour I can still have (brown rice, garbanzo/chickpea) only the red lentil held together when cooked. Red lentil flour is super easy to grind at home. I use my WonderMill for convenience and because I have it, but before I had that it would grind just as easily in an inexpensive ($20) coffee grinder dedicated to grinding flour. Even in the grinder the red lentils pulverize easily and leave a superfine flour. I do not know where or if commercially ground red lentil flour can be bought. Grinding it at home is so super easy that i just didn’t worry about it.I am also very pleased to have a pasta that is better for my diabetic spouse to be able to eat! Because of the severe food restrictions imposed by my body, there is almost no prepackaged ‘convenience’ foods that I can have anymore. I also can’t have commercially extracted starches (like tapioca, potato, etc.) due to corn cross-contamination issues so finding flours that worked for me was far from easy. I am THRILLED to be able make noodles ahead and dry them. I have done this before with the red lentil dough and it works great. I’m only 42 years old but I thought macaroni was something I’d never be able to eat again. Funny thing about red lentils when cooked is the color changes, so these look like and FEEL like regular wheat noodles when eating them! At least to the best of my knowledge; I grew up eating homemade macaroni and cheese so I’d think I know rather well. ;DIt certainly takes a bit of work to clean up the machine, but honestly it isn’t too bad. The only thing I wish I could change is to have two more die plates, one for small shell noodles, and another for mini lasagna noodles like the size found in Hamburger Helper. I would be utter thrilled to have those options! I can’t stop imagining all the pasta dishes I can have again! :D—————————Red Lentil Egg Pasta250 g. Red Lentil Flour*3 Large Eggs1/4 tsp. Salt1.) Mix & kneed dough until fully combined.2.) Divide into 30 g. balls for ‘walnut sized’ portions.3.) Use pasta machine as directed.4.) Bring water to boil & cook fresh pasta for 7 minutes. Drain.Dried noodles: Boil 5 minutes & cover and let sit 7 minutes before draining. (This was the cooking directions listed for the (thicker) hand rolled dried pasta I made in the past. I’m including it here in case you needed a bit of a guide for cooking the dried pasta. The pasta from the KitchenAid attachment has much thinner walls so I’d assume the 7 minutes can be reduced but not entirely sure by how much right now.*Next batch I’m going to try 275 g. Red Lentil Flour to see if it makes a less sticky dough that doesn’t seal the macaroni tubes when cutting off.

    Works well
    Nice quality and easy to use. My only complaint is that the noodles come out a little thicker/denser than I would like.

    It makes pasta better
    Making sure to read the directions first, my biggest dislike with this is the cleaning process. That being said there was several things I did like about this! Knowing that it is a sturdy product. It does take some time to get used to. Don’t expect to be able to get this the first time you use it. It took me a couple tries before I really was able to form the pasta perfectly. What I found was using a dough that was slightly dry. Following the directions to a T. The other thing is making sure you have the interchangeable sections on correctly. If you don’t get them tight enough they do rotate and cause the dough to back up in the fastener. The handle they provide and the picking mechanism we’re perfect tools to go along with it! It made cleaning a whole lot easier. I really enjoy this product and the taste of the pasta itself is absolutely divine. I will be recommending this to everyone I know! I really enjoyed making and eating the pasta from it.

    Read this if you’re having a difficult time making good pasta
    Like many other users of this product, my first batch of pasta was a disaster. My main complaint is a common one: the noodles stuck together upon trying to cut them, lost their shape, and were generally unmanageable. I ended up balling up the noodles and using the dough with my other pasta maker, which uses rollers instead of an extruder. Where I went wrong, and I suspect I’m not alone, is that I didn’t like the way the Kitchen Aid formula mixes (looks clumpy and dry), so I kept adding water in order to obtain a homogeneous consistency. BAD IDEA! BUT, if you just change a few things from the instructions that come with this product, you’ll be much more satisfied with your results. The first: add oil to the mix, about one teaspoon per two eggs. The second: mix the ingredients by hand until a homogeneous consistency is achieved. Start by using the handle of a wooden spoon as a mixing tool. At first the dough will look clumpy and dry, but be patient and persevere. When you can’t make further process, use your bare hands. Knead the dough as necessary until all the flour is used up. Then make the dough into little pellets, no bigger than a walnut in size, preferably even smaller. After 20 minutes wait time, start the machine and extrude away. A bit of care and the use of a pasta rack will prevent the noodles from sticking together. I just finished making a batch of bucatini and they came out almost perfect and quite tasty. Incidentally, I use Caputo Semola di Grano Duro instead of general purpose flour. Don’t know that it makes a huge difference, I’m just adding this fact in the interest of full disclosure.As far as the other common complaints, yes, the machine is not easy to clean. This is just a drawback of the process, and any extrusion machine will have the same issue. Also, since a certain amount of dough will remain in the machine regardless of what you do, there will be a certain amount of inevitable waste, another byproduct of the extruding process. The good news is that, since the amount of waste will be the same, bigger batch will result is less waste percentage wise.Another complaint is that it doesn’t fit right and in some cases comes off, causing damage. I don’t have much to offer on that one since mine simply didn’t have that problem.So, overall, I’m satisfied with this product. It makes a good change of pace from the usual rolled pasta. Although the noodles will never look as good as the stuff you see on the KA YouTube clips, with a few tweaks to the instructions provided, it actually works as advertised.

    Make pasta!!
    This product is easy to use and it effectively and simply makes pasta. Egg, flour, olive oil and salt and this kitchen aid attachment gives a lot of satisfaction and nice tasting pasta. The price you pay is in the cleanup. That is the only downside. It will be perfect to add some warmth and cheer to cold rainy Sundays.

    The egg pasta recipe in the booklet included just didn’t work for me. I just ended up with a sticky mess and sad pasta shapes every single time. I did a bit of research and found that extruders seemed to be happier with drier pasta dough which made sense to me. So now, I use a recipe of durum wheat flour ( fine ground semolina) (400g) and hot water, (140ml or more if needed) kneaded in the KitchenAid first (takes about 10-15 minutes) until it clumps. It mustn’t be sticky – the drier, the better. I then roll it all into a stiff ball, wrap it in cling film and let the dough rest for about half an hour on the counter. When I’m ready, I cut up the dough into a bit smaller than golf ball sized pieces and proceed. After realising that a stiffer dough was better, I’ve since used bread flour but less eggs and again I’ve had more success than using the recipes. In fact, success every time. That may just be a me problem but it just seems to be better. Clean up can be tricky but I have to confess that I do take apart the die (shaping discs) and scrub them clean with soap and water but am meticulous about drying them immediately after. I’ve had mine for a few years and I’ve had no problems doing this even though I know we’re not supposed. Anyway, it’s a bit of a faff but definitely keeps the five year old inside me happy with her adult playdoh machine!

    This is a very nice piece of kit. It is my first attachment for my KA mixer ( Artisan ) and I am wholly surprised by the ease at which I was able to produce excellent pasta – not commonly found in supermarkets ( dried / fresh ). I have included a couple of pics of the bucatini produced in order to see the the pasta was in fact hollow ( this really impressed me! ) and a delightful texture to eat. I note there are a few negative reviews but I would contest these – get the dough recipe right and the machine will extrude restaurant quality pasta – albeit in a smaller quantity and slightly longer extruding time. I don’t think it would be fair to KitchenAid so leave a negative review simply because the dough is not compliant enough for the machine to work at it’s best. Like with all cooking and baking – if the recipe is not right, what follows after will not be optimal. I used the recipe in the manual ( I sifted the four over the cup and considered one full cup of sifted flour to be the correct measurement – this is different to measuring one cup of flour and then sifting into the bowl ). The water content has been added: 2 – 4 tsp depending on flour used. I have used this on several discs and no problems with extruding and the machine did not struggle.Clean up afterwards was okay. The dishwasher safe parts ( which I washed by hand for immediate clean up and to stow ) are easily washed by hand. The disc requires a little more effort: my tip would be to remove as much pasta as you can from the disc and leave overnight – the dried pasta can be picked out in less than 10 minutes and the disc rinsed by hand. This is all that is required.I would most definitely recommend this KA attachment if you wish to make some pretty impressive pasta at home with relative ease. The end result was quite delightful and using the pasta press was really quite good fun!

    Ich dachte, Nudeln sind ja billig, muss ich echt auch noch Röhrennudeln selbst machen? Es hat mich dann aber doch genug gereizt, es mal zu versuchen und siehe da, es ist echt einfach und macht Spass! Schon lange habe ich die Nudelwalzen und nutze diese mit Begeisterung, um z.B. Lasagneplatten, Platten für Ravioli oder Maultaschen oder Linguine zu machen, aber dieser Röhrennudelvorsatz gibt einem die Möglichkeit, auch farbige oder z.B. mit Bärlauch- oder Rote Beetepüree gefärbte Spiralnudeln, diverse Maccaroni oder Spaghetti zu machen. Echt klasse. Da nimmt die Bandbreite der kulinarischen Möglichkeiten echt zu…. Wichtig ist der Trick, die Schablonen (vorsichtig) ganz auseinander machen zum reinigen und die drei Teile danach wieder (vorsichtig und passgenau) zusammenzusetzen (es gibt dazu, glaube ich, ein gutes youTube Video). So kriegt man wirklich auch letzte Teigreste aus der Matritze und muss sich keine Gedanken machen, ob alles hygienisch ist. Sie könnte billiger sein, aber macht einen super soliden Eindruck und ich denke, ich habe sie bis zum Ende meiner Tage (oder aktiven Zeit als Köchin, sollte es mal so weit sein)….
