There is nothing handier than my Kitchenaid stand mixer pasta attachments to make fresh pasta.\u00a0 A few months ago, I had the perfect storm of discounts and Kohl’s cash and rewards to get this set on the cheap.\u00a0 Anyone that knows me knows I hate paying full price for anything.\u00a0 Shoes, yes.\u00a0 Not 80% off?\u00a0 Forget it.\u00a0 Having spent most of my child rearing years as a single mom, my ability to score a mega bargain saved my life.\u00a0 I’m queen of the garage sales, thrift stores, and deal stacking at Kohl’s.<\/p>\n
Where was I going with this?\u00a0 Oh yes, pasta attachments!\u00a0 This set is not cheap and so I had been dealing with store bought pasta, which is fine.\u00a0 I guess.\u00a0 I had a different roller that got swallowed by the garage in the move to Southern Oregon, never to be seen again until just last week when we gutted the garage.\u00a0 Anyway.\u00a0 That thing was clunky and hard to clean and I barely used it for those reasons.\u00a0 Let’s not even discuss the hand crank.\u00a0 You’d need three arms to use it.\u00a0 One to hold the pasta going in, one to hold it coming out, and a third to crank the thing.\u00a0 No thanks.\u00a0 The Kitchenaid pasta attachments, however, are extremely easy to use and even easier to clean.\u00a0 The set comes with a stiff little brush to swipe away any semolina or pasta remnants.\u00a0 They pop right in and the thickness knob is pretty straight forward.\u00a0 You can roll pasta out in minutes.\u00a0 I can do an entire batch in under an hour.\u00a0 And I’m all about saving time.\u00a0 I find I use the roller the most, though, it comes with a spaghetti cutter and a linguine cutter as two separate attachments, which are super handy.\u00a0 I tend to either use my pasta as is for raviolis or simply hand cut the pasta into ribbons for immediate use because I’m lazy like that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
