Stainless Steel Pasta Roller and Ravioli Maker Attachment for KitchenAid Stand Mixer

I have used the ravioli maker twice. In short, it works well once you perfect the dough and your technique. You will NOT get perfect ravioli on your first try, so schedule a couple of "just for fun" sessions before trying to impress anyone. One thing I learned is the dough needs to be fairly thick or it won't seal between ravioli - 4 on the KA pasta press worked well. If you are going for that paper-thin style, better to make by hand. By the end of my second session I was competent making the cheese ravioli pictured here. With a little patience you will be able to do it too.

Have been working with this and found that the following dough works great: (this is different from the standard KitchenAid recipe) 10 oz All purpose flour 2 large eggs (wt ~ 2 oz/egg) 4 large egg yolks 1 tsp Kosher Salt 0-1 tblspn water (depends on humidity of kitchen -cold here in Maine) Mix in mixer the usual way (30 sec mix, 2-3 min with dough attachment) Then knead for 2-3 minutes Rest for 30 minutes-1 hour Roll the dough on following settings: Roll out on #1 with 3-4 folds (kneading) Roll out on #2 with 3-4 folds (kneading) Roll out on # 3 Roll out on #4 Run through Ravioli Maker: Sprinkle with flour as needed Fold dough in half and crease the fold. Remove hopper, insert folded end and give it a quarter turn Open folded pasta so that it is draped over both sides Replace hopper Then, SLOWLY, turn the crank. Voila --works fine. Just be patient and be sure to knead the dough and let it rest before using this attachment.

I am an experienced cook and love my KitchenAid mixer. I have worked in restaurants and made lots of raviolis in my life. All I can say is that I tried... I made 3 different consistencies of dough and although they came out ok, I couldn't get the ends to properly seal. I did just purchase the pasta arm and I am hoping that maybe that will help... Any suggestions?

Guys, don't rate your own inability. This attachment works perfectly well and produces gorgeous ravioli if you are capable to do a proper pasta dough. And nothing is easier than producing full-size sheets with the Pasta Roller attachment.

Makes ravioli almost as well as my Nana Rose ; and a lot less bossy in the kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Takes a couple of times to perfect, but oh so very worth it. Nothing better than homemade ravioli. Too bad this attachment was discontinued.

I received this as a gift and I was so excited because I got a copy of my Nona’s recipe and couldn’t wait to use it. Well what a flop. After spending a lot of money for ingredients (nona’s recipe was for meat and some veggies) and almost ALL day getting everything prepared and ready to start the process it was so messy and you couldn’t even tell some were ravioli. Didn’t waste though I used all to make a delicious lasagna. I will say though that I have almost every attachment and I will say I love the pasta maker. So save your money!! Sorry kitchen aid. Don’t bother with a response because I returned it to the store for a refund.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took me a time or two to figure out the best way to use this attachment, but I love it!!! It’s great to be able to control what you put in your favorite dishes!
