Pasta Roller 5KSMPSA

The work of the pasta roller machine can be done by hand, the traditional way. With time and skill, you can achieve paper-thin sheets of pasta ready to cut. You’ll need a rolling pin and a sprinkling of patience. Take your homemade pasta dough at room temperature - well rested - and divide it into pieces. Put some flour on the countertop and the rolling pin to keep it from sticking. Or, use the pasta roller attachment to save your arms and do the hard work for you.

When you’ve achieved your beautifully thin sheets of pasta and cut them in whichever way you like, they’ll need to dry. To save space and air-dry evenly, you can use the KitchenAid pasta drying rack (sold separately). You can get the equivalent of 3 metres of drying space with the staggered spiral. Take the wand from the centre post and catch the sheets or strings as they emerge. Then, feel smug about your creation.

What’s your favourite? What about the children? Classic spaghetti or hearty fettuccine? You can create fresh, authentic noodles of your choice with your pasta sheets. When you’ve used the pasta roller, select your pasta cutter (sold separately) and put it on the attachment hub of the stand mixer. Then, feed your prepared pasta sheets through. Simple! You’ll be delighted with the uniform strands that emerge from the commercial-style cutters and can cook them right away or dry for later.
