Kitchen Aid Pasta Maker: Testing Versatility
Put your Kitchen Aid stand mixer’s versatility to the test by adding attachments. From just a stand mixer, make it a Kitchen Aid Pasta Maker.
Here’s how to use both the stand mixer and the pasta maker.
- Pour ingredients into the mixer – Mix the pasta ingredients in the mixer. Mix until a soft dough is formed and until the dough is formed into a ball
- Attach pasta attachment – Remove mixing bowl from the mixer. Attach the pasta roller into the attachment slot and knead the dough with it. Make sure that the attachment is securely in place. A snap will tell you that the attachment is locked in
- Feed dough to the roller – feed dough to the roller until you’ve reached the desired thickness. Cut the dough into half when it becomes too long so it will still be manageable. Repeat the process until you get the perfect result.
- Attach desired pasta cutter – Remove pasta roller from the attachment slot and replace with desired pasta cutter (like the fettuccine or spaghetti cutter). Cut the pasta dough into manageable length. Feed the dough to the roller until all of the dough is cut.
- Cook pasta – since pasta is all done, you can cook it immediately or store it in an airtight container if you wish to eat it another day
The great thing about having the attachment slot is that it holds your attachments firmly. This way, both of your hands are free and you can catch the pasta with both of your hands. The Kitchen Aid Pasta Maker really is a flexible kitchen tool which aids you in pasta making. Getting this is a must!
