Much better than a manual machine!
Having the Kitchenaid do all the cranking is great – and the Spaghetti maker actually makes ROUND spaghetti, not just tagliatini type little flat noodles.
NOTE for those that say the attachments turn and go around, read the instructions. YOU HAVE to insert if far enough into the mixer so that the little pin on the pasta maker fits into the notch near the tightening screw. IF you don’t do that, it will go around and around.
The Ravioli maker was a surprise, it is manual, but I guess that makes sense, That is the one I haven’t used yet.
GREAT tool
I just got done eating raviolis made by this ravioli maker. Due to all the negative reviews I had some trepidation but I always make up my own mind using the products myself. This ravioli maker was E-A-S-Y. None of my raviolis came undone in the water. I do admit I only put 2 raviolis to boil for the 5 minutes as a test, they turned out fine so I threw the whole batch in the water. This machine is fabulous. I thinned the dough out to #5, pricked a hole in each ravioli and it came out delicious. Not a single one burst while cooking. I made a shrimp, cream cheese, ricotta, garlic, cracked pepper and sea salt filling. I added a little cottage cheese as it strings like mozzarella when hot. This is not my first time making pasta but it was my first time using the ravioli maker. I give this machine a 5.
KitchenAid Pasta and Ravioli set
I was skeptical about purchasing this set especially since the ravioli maker has had mixed and poor reviews. I decided to purchase after viewing utube and various sets. Upon receiving, I attempted to make dough and attachments. It took me some time to get down the process for the dough. I ended up making it more moist than the recipe called for. Also, I absolutely love the ravioli maker and can’t believe the bad reviews. It is manual and in my opinion it should be, you have to ensure you have enough filling and with power you would not be able to control. Be sure to let your flat noodle sit before running through the ravioli maker. The first one I made I didn’t wait and the dough was too moist. I just was too excited and needed to see how it worked. I then went back to making the flat noodle for the remaining dough then make ravioli’s. the were perfect. Don’t let the poor reviews affect your judgment. this set is great. My mom as the manual press and was very impressed…
