Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KPRA Pasta Roller Attachment for Stand Mixers
Customer Review: Pastalicious!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm very pleased with this product. I made my first edible batch of fettucine with it the other night (after a practice run), let it dry on a baking sheet and stored it in the fridge in an airtight container overnight. I cooked it the next night and was surprised at how good it was. Perfect texture. The noodles only took about 2 1/2 minutes to cook, even after drying a bit.
A couple of things to keep in mind: The first batch of dough you work through the machine is a throwaway. There are some type of oil from the mechanism and little shards of something that get into the dough the first time you use it. It's sad to waste good flour and eggs, but there was no way I was going it eat dough with black smudges and flecks on it. When I made my second batch, it was all good and clean. Second, I did not like the recipe for basic pasta dough in the booklet that came with the machine. Too much flour for the amount of eggs. And I kept having to add water, quite a lot, because the dough was too dry to come together in the mixer bowl. I also did not like mixing the dough in the KA mixer. The machine seemed to be working too hard. For my second batch -- the one I ate -- I used Marcella Hazan's basic recipe (1 cup all-purpose flour and 2 large eggs, and 1/2 tsp. salt) and hand mixed and kneaded. That recipe resulted in beautiful, smooth and shiny lengths of dough that cut perfectly (cutter attachments are fabulously sharp). It tasted wonderful and had "bite" when cooked. Next time, I'm going to try mixing and kneading the dough in the food prcessor a la Mark Bittman's instructions.
The best thing about the motorized rollers and cutters is that I had that "third hand" I so sorely needed when I had a hand-cranked machine. I never mastered that machine because I needed an extra hand to guide the dough at both ends while I cranked! The motor fixes that problem nice and neatly.
It is also easy to clean with the included brush. I had very little flour that needed to be dusted off the rollers and cutters and no dough stuck to it, so that was great.
I'm planning on a lasagna bolognese party soon!
Description of KitchenAid KPRA Pasta Roller Attachment for Stand Mixers
A great accessory for your KitchenAid stand mixer. This set features a roller to knead and roll your pasta, a fettuccine cutter, and a spaghetti cutter. Each is easy to install and easy to remove for cleaning with the including cleaning brush. Fits all KitchenAid stand mixers, not shown.If you have a passion for perfectly prepared pasta, try making your own delectable lasagna noodles, fettuccine, or linguine fini with this pasta roller set that fits all KitchenAid stand mixers. The three attachments include a pasta roller, a fettuccine cutter, and a linguine fini cutter. Just prepare pasta dough and form it into small rectangles which are then fed into one of the attachments. Out come uniform lasagna noodles, fettuccine, linguine, or angel hair pasta. The pasta can be enjoyed fresh or frozen or dried for later. Complete directions, cooking tips, and recipes are included, though cleaning the attachments can be a bit of a challenge, as they can't be washed in water, and any dried-on pasta particles must be removed with the included cleaning brush and toothpicks. --Marcie Bovetz
