Pasta Roller 5KSMPSA

 

 

Once you’ve made pasta dough at home with your stand mixer, you can then roll it into thin sheets with this pasta roller. Designed for ease and control, this stainless steel pasta roller is an optional attachment which fixes securely to the attachment hub of your stand mixer.

You can create sheets of any thickness you like using the 8 thickness settings. Always start at the widest setting (number 1) and then gradually increase through the scale as you keep rolling it through. Thick tagliolini, medium for lasagne or thin for linguine or ‘angel hair’ pasta. You’ll need to put the dough through at least 3 times for each setting - always folding it up and then putting it through again. Don’t forget to sprinkle flour to avoid the dough sticking! Your pasta sheets will be up to 14 cm width and perfectly smooth and even - all ready to use or cut with the KitchenAid pasta cutter accessories (sold separately). This commercial-style pasta roller comes with a handy cleaning brush to remove bits of dough when you’ve finished.

 

 

Easy to roll

 

 

No more aching arms! Once you’ve made your dough and left it to rest, you can feed it through the pasta roller until it’s perfect.

 

 

 

Control the thickness

 

 

Simply adjust the thickness of the dough by feeding it through at increasingly high setting until it’s right for your chosen style.

 

 

Ready to cut

 

 

Once you have thin, even sheets, you can move on to cutting with a pasta cutter for spaghetti, fettuccine or other noodles (sold separately).

 

 

 

The rolling pin: doing it without a pasta roller

 

 

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.
