New Pasta Attachment

Early last week, I received in the mail, my order of semolina flour. I had searched many of the stores in my area and could not find it. I was not able to remember where I was able to obtain it last time. I found it on Amazon.com for a good price. This week I received the pasta extruder I purchased brand new on E-bay. The price on the KitchenAid Website was more than I wanted to pay. I really like being able to find good deals. I purchased the pasta extruder because it has a spaghetti attachment that will be more to my liking in the thickness of the noodle.

A pasta extruder has a few different added benefits from the other pasta making attachments. It makes six different shaped noodles, such as homemade large or small macaroni, fusilli, rigatoni, bucatini, or spaghetti. I will only have to place balls of dough through the hopper. Instead of having to flatten the dough first then insert it into the cutter. This attachment has a wire cutter that enables me to cut the noodles to the length I prefer as well. I am not at a loss with the other attachments, as they will continue to make the egg noodles that we loved so much. I look forward to classes slowing down so I can have more of an opportunity to play with my new food investment.

  1. I have always wanted to make my own pasta, but I have never had the time or materials to do it. A Kitchenaid stand mixer has been on my wishlist for years! Hopefully, I can get one soon and begin my own pasta making experience. Good luck with yours!
