Topic: KitchenAid Mixer Attachments

[Skhilled (OP)]

I was on Amazon yesterday cause I lost my fine chopper plate for my food grinder attachment (for fine grinds) and put it on my wish list.

Yeah, the shipping costs twice as much as the plate does!!! 

But also have been thinking of buying the pasta sheet attachment:

So, yesterday I put it on my wish list along with a pasta drying rack:

While I was doing that I wished they had an attachment that made macaroni and other shapes. Well, guess what I found today:

Kay loves her KitchenAid appliances! She has the Artisan blender and the UltraPower processor, but not any of the add-on attachments like the ones that you are showing.

So... are you gonna get them?

Well, I definitely am getting the cutter for the grinder. Also, I am getting the pasta sheet attachment and a drying rack but think I'll get this one instead because it is rated better:

I already have a ravioli press like the one below along with a 30-40 year old manual pasta roller with a hand crank that still works very well:

But not sure about the Pasta Press but may get it anyways but not right away. LOL

EDIT: Bought the cutter, the rack above, the pasta roller and this book:

I already had a $75 gift card so I only paid $43.98!

Looks like a good haul! 
Now for the best part, making the pasta.

[Skhilled (OP)]

Now that part should be a lot easier! LOL

Gotta find a good filling for ravioli for when they come!

Got my goods yesterday. The pasta roller is a bit heavier than I expected. Been reading up on it for when I'm ready to use it.

The book has tons of pasta making information including a lot of flavored pastas!

Waiting to see your first dish.
