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.

The motor comes with mounts to attach to pasta machine. Ps its makes work so easy.

I think it is great for pasta. I tried it mixed with all purpose flour for pizza crust, but the texture was too tough. The texture is not as fine as regular flour..

Annie, depends. I use my machine for rolling out gum paste for making flowers that I use in cake decorating, I do secure it, but not sure if it would be absolutely necessary. Have never made pasta with it. If it is convenient to secure it in your case, I would do it just to be sure.

The set I have has cutters for linguine and fettuccine, typical widths for those pastas. The cutters are deep enough that I suppose you could roll a thick piece of dough and make thick egg noodles, but, yes, that would be a function of the roller, not the cutter. As far as I know, they don't have a noodle cutter for anything a wide as pappardelle. The noodle cutters also do a nice job cutting very thin pasta, and the roller has settings from 1 to 8, 8 being thin enough to be transparent. This attachment makes pasta-making very quick and easy.

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 .

While the drive shaft of the motor should fit the pasta maker, I'm not sure how you would keep the motor from falling out of the maker....mine has a spring-steel clamp that holds it tight to the pasta maker.

No I have not tried the other attachments. I pretty much just use it to dice onions, tomatoes and garlic. I am sorry that I was not that much help.

If you are a twirler then prob. not. But like me if you are a scoop and slurp then not to bad.But for other pastas like macaroni it just fine. Plus I find it works just fine for sticking mostmeats as well. Raven

Linguini, as a pasta, is thin at flat. No, This attachment does not make round pasta.

I bought this pasta roller for making Pappardelle pasta. Yes, I suppose I could roll out a flat sheet of pasta and then cut it wider into Pappardelle shape, but I wanted to do it this way. I really love making pasta, and this is just one more "toy" for me.

I do not think so. This attachment is for the marcato pasta machine. The kitchenaid pasta attachment is built differently. You can't attach the marcato attachment to the kitchenaid mixer.

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 :)

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.

I had to buy a new pasta machine because my Atlas did not fit with the Norpro Motor. I think I bought a Norpro pasta machine so they would be compatible. But it was worth it, because now I can make my homemade pasta in half the time and I can do it without my husband's help and no more sore arms.

Works great for rice without the basket. Pasta is tricky, with or without basket, make sure it has room to roll with the boil, or it will stick together. I use it mostly for steaming veggies with water level below the bottom of the basket.

the knob is indeed to adjust the thickness of the pasta. not sure how it would work with out it.
