Turns Out I Was a Pasta Chef This Whole Time
Who wouldn’t want fresh pasta at home? I saw this and immediately said, “Well… I guess I’m a pasta person now.” Almost everyone I know owns a damn KitchenAid mixer, seriously, it's like they hand them out at weddings now, but weirdly, nobody's got that pasta attachment thing. So, guess who had to step up and be the hero? (Me. Obviously.) Now my biggest problem is deciding what kind of pasta to whip up first. Tortellini? Fettuccine? Ugh, too many delicious options. There are five options, and apparently that’s four too many for my decision-making skills. It’s also a great way to get your kids involved, just be prepared for the flour disaster they will absolutely create. Kids don’t sprinkle flour; they launch it like confetti at a parade.Adding the attachment is super easy. You drop a little dough ball in the top, press it down with the pusher, pick your plate, and suddenly you’re running a tiny pasta shop out of your kitchen. And yes, you will absolutely snack on noodles the entire time. Cleanup is surprisingly simple. Another thing I also love is the storage case, because if I lose one more kitchen gadget piece, I’m going to start blaming the house spirits. This pasta press even comes with a brush to push down extra dough and clean the plates, which makes me feel like I know what I’m doing even when I absolutely do not.This is the kind of attachment, like the KitchenAid itself, that you’ll have forever and eventually pass down. I can already picture someone in 50 years saying, “This belonged to my grandma/grandpa, and they loved me enough to give it to me.” If you’ve ever had fresh pasta, you know it’s on a whole different level. After this, boxed pasta starts feeling like the emergency backup you only use when life is falling apart.This attachment is really something. You are looking at a lump of dough. Then, suddenly, flour is everywhere. Everyone is. Have a good time. Someone is even sneaking bites of the pasta when they think nobody is watching. The homemade pasta is really good. This attachment makes it very easy to make. It is so easy that you will wonder why you did not make pasta every Saturday. This attachment is one of those kitchen tools that you will keep using for a time. The homemade pasta made with this attachment is just better; it is an experience. This attachment is great for making pasta, and it will become a favorite thing in your kitchen. The kind that ends up being part of the memories, not just the food.
