Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid SNPA Pasta Maker Plates for Food Grinder Attachment for Stand Mixers
Customer Review: Just okay!
Summary: 3 Stars
I wouldn't recommend this product because the consistency of the dough has to be just right. After half the dough is processed the disc gets clogged so you have to remove it and clean it out. The only way you would be able to use it without frustration would be to have two sets. I also have experience with extruding pasta machines and none of them work that great. Not all of the dough comes out evenly and they burn out because they're hard on the motor. If you're an avid homemade pasta maker, buy the roller and cutter.Customer Review: Save your money
Summary: 1 Stars
This product does not deliver as promised. I followed the directions exactly as indicated in the instruction booklet. The pasta took for forever to extrude and the noodles were curled and sticking together before I even got to cut them off. After 20 minutes I realize that there would be no fresh pasta. My mixer was getting overheated (which never happens). I took out my old fashioned roller/cutter and finished the batch. My recommendation - stick with the traditional pasta makers; Kitchenaid missed on this one.Customer Review: A waste of money (from a company that KNOWS better)

I love my mixer (this is my second kitchenaid; I upgraded from the low-end model and gave my mom the old one!) but I hate this accessory. I already had the meat grinder and figured that since we like pasta so much this would be a good investment. WRONG! It simply doesn't work. All the strands of pasta stick together as they come out of the holes, even when using the recommended/included recipe. Save your money and buy a hand-cranked fettuccine maker, or splurge and get a dedicated electric pasta machine.Customer Review: Worthless atachment
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a manual pasta roller that makes great pasta. I thought this attachment might make the process easier, but it doesn't work. Kitchenaid should stop selling this product because it is next to impossible to make it work. The noodles curl as they come out of the plates and unless you have an extremely dry dough, the noodles stick to one another. I even went as far as mounting the mixer so the noodles would extrude straight down, but they still managed to stick together. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.Customer Review: Takes some practice, but great results!

This is the first pasta maker I have ever used and I am pleased with the results. It is easy to use and clean; and once I figured out the right dough recipe (drier than I would have thought) the results have been great! I have even used it for angel hair and I didn't have a problem with sticking. I think you need to make sure to let the pasta dry for at least fifteen minutes before boiling for best results. I bought this with the food grinder attachment, so it was a great deal.
