does it work well with pasta attachment?

Yes! The pasta attachment is amazing! I've made all of the shapes, but especially like the rigatoni style. Just be sure to check the manual for speed needed, as each shape requires a different speed. Also, after using it often, the best way to clean up, is to set all the pieces out over night and let the extra pasta bits dry in the plate. They will brush right out in the morning.

You will need to have a separate attachment to roll your pasta. To see how this works, there is an excellent video on YouTube with Peter Pasta http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dufoH9mFEeE

Yes, that is what I use it for, and I am satisfied given the price. However, the legs keep the strainer well above the bottom of the pot, so your pasta pot should be deep. Also, your pot lid will not fit tightly on the pot, which was not a problem for me.

No way. It struggles with grissel. Get a cast iron one for that the plastic on mine wore out making pasta...

It slides on to the press on the same tabs as the fettuccine/spaghetti attachment that came with the press. It attaches very nicely and works well.

It depends on your taste. Using the Marcato Pasta Machine I had really good results with the '6' setting.

I never have done that, but if you were to make your pasta dough and roll it out really thin, I dont see why you couldn't roll the miner length wise across - the blades are spaced far enough apart that you could have a linguini thickness I'd think. This works SO well to mince herbs quickly - its honestly worth the cost just for that! If it works for pasta too, then thats a bonus :)

It's slim pickings for attachments for the 180 mm Atlas pasta maker. There are tons of different attachments for the more common 150 mm version. Many people prefer to manually cut their pasta to width with a chef's knife anyway. That's to say, roll the pasta dough to thickness, make into a roll and cut to desired thickness. Might actually be easier than a contraption. If you are interested in learning more about making your own pastas, there are some great online courses at craftsy dot com. The guy is an instructor at Culinary Institute of America, so pretty accomplished.

Not that I am aware of. I have several meat attachments for it but have never seen a pasta attachment. If you have a cuisenart stand mixer I would look into a cheap one for that if you are going to be doing homemade pasta. This meat grinder is huge and unless you plan on doing commercial quantity pasta making this is extreme overkill. That said, as grinders for meat go, this is beastly, if it keeps working as it has been, I would choose LEM anyday. If you decide to get an LEM get the foot pedal, makes life/cleaning so much easier. I processed just over 150 lbs of venison through two grinding plate runs, and finally through jerkey force plates all in under 40 minutes, took me over 5 hours with my stand mixer last year.

Yes, works great. I use it the food mill type attachment for jam, V8, all kinds of things. I love it

I use this for both pasta and panettones. Works better than US all purpose for these. King Authur makes a good 00, but they don't really sell it over 2 pounds.

I've owned several pasta machines, in addition to this one. I always expect to waste a batch of pasta dough by running it through the machine until the gunk is gone. After that, no problems.

no, the Marcato Atlas is a roller to roll out the dough flat...what you want is a pasta extruder...to see an example, search for "KitchenAid KPEXTA Stand-Mixer Pasta-Extruder Attachment" here on Amazon, and you'll see the difference. A lot of kitchen food processors have pasta extruder attachments for them...I have an old OLD Oster Kitchen Center from like the 70's, and I got a pasta attachment for it...haven't tried it yet, but I will now that I'm up and running with the roller...which is GREAT by the way! took practice, you can't just make perfect pasta the first time, you have to have patience to learn, but it is SO worth it!

Yes !!! Works very well on just about anything you want to cook in it . Just don't overload it with too much pasta , it will expand and that is a narrow pot .

Well, first, you need a roller attachment to run the dough thru several times until you reach the desired thickness for the pasta, secondly, you'll need the pasta cutter which will cut the dough rolled out into various types of pasta, for example, fettechini, spaghetti. The pasta roller also acts as a lasagna roller. Most sets are sold in three pieces, the dough roller, and two attachments for various kinds of pasta. So, I recommend getting the roller and the two pasta cutters for various styles of pasta. Buying them separately is more expensive. Buy the three attachment set and save yourself some grief.

It cuts spaghetti size and fettuccine size and comes with pasta roller. I love mine and have no problems with it. I make a double batch of homemade noodles and freeze half of them for later.

Hi SundancejanSorry cannot help as I don't have the motor. I have the rest of the bits and the drive is the same for the roller section (to flatten dough) and for the parts that cut the pasta (lasagna), so if the motor is a stand-alone unit then it should work fine with either attachment. The machine works very well with the manual crank.
