I tried making homemade pasta with my new Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer and pasta maker attachments this weekend.

Wow! What a machine! I loved using this machine. Previously I had tried making homemade pasta just twice and it was dismal each time – exactly like elastic bands. So this time, I was less than confident that my efforts would produce anything worthwhile.

The machine was easy to set up and use. The dough came out much drier using the amount of water they call for in the recipe, so I added more per their instructions. Then I used the pasta attachments. The first tiny batch was okay but a bit elastic. Then I realized that the machine does a lot of the work for you and ran the next batch through the rollers a lot less. Almost perfect on the second try.
