The set couldn't be simpler or faster to use. Since the tools are powered by your KitchenAid, you don't need to worry about clamping anything to a counter or struggling with a hand crank. It has been a real eye-opener being able to make fresh pasta dishes.
Want to dip a toe into the world of homemade pasta making without shelling out a ton of, er, dough? The OxGord Pasta Maker might be right up your alley. The machine costs about as much as one pasta dish at a fancy restaurant but opens a whole new noodle world. It features stainless steel rollers and blades, which let you adjust to nine different thicknesses while you roll the dough, and comes with three blades so you can make different styles of noodles spaghetti!
It's also designed so it can be mounted to countertops and has a removable crank handle for easy storage. Hundreds of Amazon reviewers agree that the OxGord is a great bang for the buck, making it ideal for the homemade pasta novice. Great value. My students enjoy using it and it's safe. The homemade pasta they've made so far has been excellent.
Highly recommend. Not every pasta maker is small kitchen-approved. If you're looking to dabble in at-home pasta-making without crowding your counter, you'll need a reliable, easy-to-navigate, and reasonably petite machine—like the Philips Compact Pasta Maker.
Handling everything from kneading to extruding, the electric pasta machine takes the guesswork out of pasta-making and creates perfect spaghetti, penne, and fettuccini noodles in just 18 minutes. It's also equipped with unique shaping discs that ensure uniform consistency and texture, and its compact design doesn't monopolize counter space.
The pasta maker has hundreds of glowing reviews from Amazon shoppers. Some noted that it may take a couple of tries to perfect your water-to-flour ratio, but assured that it's worth it in the end.
The pasta is pretty good too! The pasta possibilities are truly endless with this handy pasta-making attachment from KitchenAid, which comes stocked with six interchangeable pasta plates.
Though it comes with a hand crank, there is the option of purchasing an electric motor for it, should the old-school method do nothing for you. We found the pasta that resulted was of better quality, too: it picked up the sauce better, and retained a more defined shape. Its functionality ranges from lasagne to linguini, and the quality of fresh pasta sheet it produces is more than sufficient for anything else you wish to make, such as pappardelle or ravioli.
It is, however, less than half the price — so, if making fresh pasta is a fairly infrequent pastime in your household, this should be your go-to. The patented aluminium rollers that give Marcato-made pasta its quality of texture and shape are once again here but there are also a whole host of added extras too. The cutters and rollers are all electrically operated too, should the joys of mixing and kneading your own be lost on you.
Imperia is another established Italian brand, and this offers much the same ease of use as the Mercato Atlas The only issue is the cutting of the pasta shapes, which is less clean and reliable than it could be and, if it goes wrong, results in a fair bit of disentangling at the other end.
One for someone who is confident in their dough making, and looking for a more budget option. It would be remiss to write about pasta makers without including another of the most tried, tested and basic methods around: the pasta-cutter rolling pin.
We liked these ones in particular — which you can buy for either spaghetti, pappardelle or fettuccini — for the quality of the wood, the length, and the price.
If you fancy making pasta without a machine, but are not quite steady enough of dab hand to produce consistent long, strand shapes, this is the one for you. For very little extra storage you have a high-end, easy-to-use electric machine that will produce high-quality pasta with very little effort or time expended — not least because your trusty KitchenAid will also get you most of the way there with your dough.
Wet pasta dough becomes a paste with the sticking power of cement, so try and keep all parts of the machine dry as best you can.
A warm damp cloth should wipe away any particularly stubborn bits. Leave the machine to dry fully before using again. Wondering how to make pasta from scratch?

The settings provide a natural progression for rolling out increasingly thin sheets of dough without jamming or clogging the machine. Of all of the machines we tested, the Marcato was the most resistant to jams when thick sheets of dough were incorrectly fed through narrower settings. The Marcato Atlas came with an additional cutter attachment for fettuccine and tagliolini, which slide into place on the top of the main rolling mechanism. We tested it with both high and low hydration doughs to see how the machine handled doughs that were sticky side and doughs that were tough and firm.
The Marcato manual provides helpful instructions on how to fix your dough should your noodles stick. On that note, unlike several of the other machines we tested, the Marcato Atlas arrived with a thorough instruction manual included.
As trivial as it may seem, having comprehensive instructions can make the difference between perfect pasta or a flop. If you're looking to go beyond lasagna and long noodles, you can purchase a compatible piece cutter attachment set, which includes cutters for making mafaldine, pappardelle, vermicelli, ravioli, and more pasta shapes. One piece of bad news: Pasta maker machines are not easy to clean, and the Marcato is not really an exception to the rule.
While some of the other machines we tried were rinsable under water, they still require you to dry their many nooks and crannies immediately. The Marcato came with clear instructions for removing the pin from the bottom of the extruders for cleaning, which we found surprisingly easy and fast.
The best way to clean the machine is by using a small brush and a soft rag to clear out bits of dough between the threads of the extruder. Overall, we thought that the Marcato was worth the money due to the attention to detail, thorough instructional resources, and additional accessories that are available to consumers.
