Can we have a heart to heart? I know I was scared to make my own pasta for too long. If you're like me, I totally get it. But now, I'm no longer scared and I actually feel dumb that I was so scared for so long. With the help of my stand mixer and the KitchenAid pasta attachment, it made it much easier for me to get it done and make pasta so quickly.
I texted this picture to a friend and she said you're obsessed now right? Yes, I'm obsessed and I keep trying different flours. I can't wait to share more with you what I'm making.
I made a quick two minute video on how easy it is to make homemade pasta with KitchenAid. If you like the video after watching it, do you mind giving it a thumbs up? I totally appreciate it!!
Kitchen Tools I used for this recipe:
- White Marble Pastry Board (I own two of these!)
- KitchenAid stand mixer (Sur la Table)
- KitchenAid pasta roller set (Sur la Table)
This is a really short post because like I said, I hope you'll watch the video and say oh my goodness, it's so easy, I want to try it right now!! And come back later this week, I'll have a KitchenAid surprise for you!
Recipe is Slightly modified from KitchenAid Pasta Attachment Manual.
Recipe
Homemade Pasta Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour, sifted (plus extra flour for preparing)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 2 Tablespoons water
Instructions
- Place eggs, water, flour and salt in mixer bowl. Attached bowl and flat beater. Turn to speed 2 and mix for 30 to 60 seconds. Add more water if the dough is too dry, in 1/2 Tablespoon increments.
- Change out the flat beater for the dough hook. Turn to speed 2 and knead for 2 minutes. Remove the dough and knead by hand for 2 minutes. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Cut dough into four pieces before processing with pasta sheet attachment. Take one piece and flatten into a rectangular shape. Adding flour to both sides. Be sure to cover the other pieces. Attach the pasta sheet roller to your stand mixer and set it to #1. Turn on the stand mixer to speed 2 and run the pasta dough through the pasta sheet roller. While on #1, fold the dough in half and run it through again. I do this several times.
- Adding a little bit of flour on each side of the dough again, change setting to #2 and pass the pasta dough through the sheet roller. I do this twice and then twice each on #3 and then #4. If you want thicker dough, don't do the #4 setting.
- Once again, add flour to each side of your long pasta sheet. Change the attachment to your spaghetti or fettuccine cutter and turn on to speed 2. Run the pasta sheet through and with your left hand, hold on to the pasta as it comes through the cutter. It's usually really long so I cut it and then wind it around my hand to create a nest. Allow pasta to dry for a few minutes before boiling.
- When boiling your pasta, it only needs 3 to 7 minutes to boil.
- With this pasta recipe, I prefer the fettuccine cutter.

Aubrey says
We have made this recipe over 20 times – we love it! A few notes:
• After the first time making it, we realized that forming it into nests wasn’t a good idea. They dried before we unraveled it and they were a clumpy mess. Now we have a pasta rack (pictured) and it works perfectly! We even used clothes hangers before we had the pasta rack and those worked fine too.
• We typically have to add more water after we mix it. I’d say we use anywhere from 1-3 extra TB of water depending on how the dough feels.
• Most times the dough doesn’t come together with the KitchenAid dough hook. It can be very crumbly. We have to knead it by hand for a while longer until the dough forms.
• Otherwise, we follow the recipe to a T! We do the sheet roller as listed and cook it for about 5 minutes when it’s done.
We’ve made this recipe in different kitchens – even different states! We do notice a slight difference in the dough depending on where we make it, so we just feel it out as we go. Sometimes it feels like the dough won’t work and want to give up, but we always keep working and kneading and it ALWAYS turns out! You will love 🙂 thanks for the recipe!
Susan Donohue says
Awesome recipe. I added a bit of olive oil but other than that your recipe and. Ideo were perfect. I used the pasta dough to make lasagna for a volunteer organization I’m a part of. Thank you. FYI, I don’t boil the pasta sheets before assembling the lasagna. They cook beautifully while the lasagna bakes in the oven!
Peggy says
Thanks for the video! I made egg noodles for the very first time. Your video details made it seem so simple and it was. I just got some semolina flour to use, but the dusting flour I used my regular flour. Can’t wait to taste, I’m making Very Good Casserole aka Tallarene.
Jon says
Came out great! Like the other comment, used more water but that’s how it goes.
Louise Gagne says
Very easy to make, and my husband just loved the taste and texture of the pasta. I am gluten intolerant, so was unable to eat it, but he loved it and that’s what counts!
Thank you for the great recipe.
Don says
I use this recipe for all my fresh pasta.
Jennifer says
I loooove this recipe and about to make it for my 4th time. I really appreciate that the actual # of speed for the mixer needed is listed. I tend to use a bit more water but other than that it’s spot on!
MDC says
I’m new to pasta making, and didn’t want a recipe that was too complicated or one where I had to add yeast and let the dough rise. This one rocked! Simple, fast and easy recipe! The directions were great. I made fettuccine with pesto sauce and it tasted wonderful! I’ll definitely make it again.
Sue says
Yummy! Would this recipe also work for a tube pasta attachment?
Amy says
I’m trying that today! I don’t see why it wouldn’t.
Gail says
I love this recipe, but I find it takes about 1/4 cup of water to make it a cohesive dough. I also add a bit of oil which helps make it stretchy and it kneads better.
Christie says
I have now made this recipe twice, after trying numerous others. IT IS FANTASTIC! Just the right proportion of flour and eggs, and the pasta was not too sticky or too dry. Tonight we made spaghetti, combined with homemade, home grown pesto. So good!
Kerry says
This is my go to! Always comes out! Thanks!
Leslie says
How do you know when it’s done cooking? Since it’s already soft it’s hard to tell and I either over or under cook it. Any tips for the actual cooking part of it? I’m looking for an al dente texture and mine is always mush. Could I also be rolling it too thin?
Gail says
It only takes a few minutes. You’ll notice a slight change in colour. Taste test.
Gretchen says
Hello all . I’m considering buying the pasta maker. For the spaghetti cutter can u change size of spaghetti? Or is it one size? Thanks
Julie Deily says
Hi Gretchen,
It’s just one size! Hope that helps!
joan howard says
This recipe was great. Watching the video made it easy. Thank you
Michele Cornell says
I know this is an old thread but can you use the noodle attachment to make wide noodled
David in NC says
We just recently bought a KitchenAid pasta set which included the roller, fettuccine and spaghetti cutters, we used this recipe to make our first batch of spaghetti and OMG it was fantastic! There’s no going back to Boxed Pasta after tasting homemade, as a matter of fact I was in the mood for spaghetti again today and I’m making it and it’s much easier the second time around. The only modification I made the recipe was to increase the amount of water to about a quarter of a cup.
Shar says
Just made this for the first time and I did find it dry as well added a couple more tbsp of water and a yolk. We will see how it rolls. Next time I would try starting with 3 cups of flour and adding more flour as needed.
Julie Deily says
Shar, I feel like some people do have to add a bunch of water. Make sure you’re scooping the flour into your measuring cup too…and not dipping the measuring cup into the flour. That way you get the right amount of flour. Hope it works out!
Kathleen Arndt says
???? very helpful and easy to follow. It was fun to make. I don’t think I will buy store bought pasta again.
Barbara says
Do you have a recipe for spaghetti pasta? I have used this recipe for fettuccini and I absolutely love it!
Julie Deily says
Hi Barbara,
You can totally use the same recipe for spaghetti pasta! You just use a different cutter for it.
Katherine says
The first time I tried to make pasta, I used a different recipe I found. It didn’t work out. The pasts kept getting stuck and it came out like mush. This time, I searched for a different recipe to use and came across this one. Gave it a try, and OMG, I just made HOMEMADE pasta. I was jumping all over my kitchen with excitement. It’s cooking on my stove now, so I can’t wait to taste it. Thank you so much.
Julie Deily says
Hi Katherine,
That’s so amazing!! This makes me so happy!! Please post photos or email them to me, I want to see!! 🙂 So happy for you!! I remember feeling so accomplished when I made pasta for the first time!
Richard says
Can duck eggs be used instead of chicken eggs? If so, how many would be used?
Elizabeth Martinez says
I would assume there would be no problem. The total egg volume needs to be 7/8 cup.
Debora Balompapueng says
I did the experiment using my new tools, when I put only 2 tbsp water it was dry, so I made it a 1/4 cup of water and it was fine. I sprinkled flour every time it roll and it helped to keep the noodle separated. Very easy recipe.. BTW I used an organic flour, organic eggs and was very yummy!
Cheryl says
Great video ! Can’t wait to try the new pasta roller and cutters that my hubby received for Christmas lol !
Thanks
Julie Deily says
Cheryl, yay!!! That cracked me up btw! Hope you enjoy it!
Alison at NOVA Frugal Family says
Thanks lots!!! I got the pasta press for the Kitchen Aid this Christmas and I am excited to say that another mom in my mom’s group recommended your page. My son and I made the pasta and we only had to add 4 tbps of water to bring it together. The directions in my kitchen aid said make sure that you have 7/8 cup eggs and if you don’t add water so I assume that our eggs were a little light so I think that it worked out perfectly. I can’t wait to try it through the press to see how it works!! Thanks for the great tips and I hope that I get the roller soon 🙂
Julie Deily says
Do you mean for egg noodles? I’m confused! Now I need to break out my manual and look at the other recipes.
Sharon Dugan says
I made this pasta recipe, I needed a little more water than this.
My questions is about the cutting. We made spaghetti. We rolled all the dough out first and then started cutting. The first several sheets cut ok, but then the dough started sticking to the cutter. What do you think we did wrong? Not enough flour?
We had laid the dough on parchment paper waiting to cut. Should we hang?
Maria says
Hi Sharon. I’ve found the same thing and fixed it by spreading a bit of flour on the cutter first… and also flouring the sheets before cutting.
Chef Perry says
What many commenters don’t seem to realize is that the weather and where you live can affect your flour. In dry areas and in dry weather, you may need to add more water. The recipe is not at fault.
This is why bakers weigh their flour instead of using dry measuring cups. It helps compensate for the moisture in the flour.
Marie says
Thank you for sharing this easy and efficient recipe! I used to make my pasta dough by hand with Thomas Keller recipe. Although it yields delicious and perfect texture pasta, but it was very tiring and time consuming. I am grateful for this easy and great recipe to use with the stand mixer!
Julie Deily says
Hi Marie, sorry for the super late response. But I wonder if you can modify the TK recipe to see the KA pasta roller! That would be neat!
Anne says
Do you have a recipe using the kitchen aid for rice noodles?
Alex says
Can you freeze this for later use???
Andy Garza says
We made our first pasta dish. Fettuccine Alfredo. My goodness it was the best food I have ever had. Wow just Wow.
Nicole L Nared says
Beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing!
Tululeh says
I was wondering if anyone has made this with 00 flour and if so, were there any adjustments?
Janet says
Thanks so much for posting the video. I got the pasta attachments for Xmas – I always wanted to try making homemade pasta but was a bit intimidated. But I watched your quick video, and went for it. We had great home-made fettuccine tonight with a hearty pork shoulder ragu I made. My batch of dough did require about 3 more tbsp of water than yours, but the air is very dry in the house, so I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. I just added a bit at a time and watched the dough until it was banging around the mixing bowl with the dough hook. Thanks so much for making the vid!
Tim Hill says
This didn’t work for me, even after 2-3 attempts. There was FAR too little liquid, resulting in the dough never coming together .. it just stayed a bunch of crumbly crumbs even after I tried adding a full 3 tablespoons of extra water.
Kuldeep says
Nice recipe,
You have provided the very easy and quick way to make pasta. I love pasta very much but have not made it so far in my kitchen. Now, I can easily try this.
Is there any other way to make this fresh Homemade Pasta without kitchenaid?
I am unable to find kitchenaid stores in India. If they are present in India, Please provide me information I also want to buy KitchenAid® Pro Line® 7-Quart Stand Mixer in India.
Joanna says
I made this tonight for my ravioli. It is a great dough, but it was so dry and would not incorporate until I added an extra half cup of water. I had to take it out of the bowl and bunch it into a few balls of dough, then put back in with the dough hook, while continuing to add water, three different times. In the end it came out good, but how the heck did you use only 2 tbsp of water?!
Julie Deily says
Hi Joanna,
I have made this recipe many times and it doesn’t take me that much water…can I ask how you measured the flour? I use the first method mentioned in this post: https://www.thelittlekitchen.net/how-to-measure-flour/
Thanks!
Cory Mercer says
I’ve made this 3 times now. I use 3 T of water of evoo. Worked very nicely.
Carol says
Just tried this recipe yesterday. Turned out the best I have made. Every other recipe I have tried includes oil which makes the pasta very smooth but also very sticky going through the spaghetti rollers even after hanging the sheets to dry for a short while. I didn’t think the dough hook would bring it all together and a few pieces remained so will try your suggestion to maybe add 1/2 tablespoon water next time. Finished it off as you suggested by hand.
Sheets dried up nicely. Just enough to pass through the cutters without all the strands sticking together which normally happens to mine.
Thanks again. Threw out all other recipes and this is my now go to recipe.
Tommy Simmons says
I love making pasta — now for about a year. I lost my little booklet and with it the recipe. This allows me to do it better, rather than from memory. Thanks.
Sharon says
am trying this with 1 1/2 cups of Seminole floor and 1 3/4 cups of all purpose flour. The rest of recipe is the same.
My dough was very dry so I had to add 1/2 cup of water. To dry for the dough hook to do much. Finally hand kneaded it. Looks ok but we will see how it rolls out.
Mam says
Do you rest it in fridge or on the counter? Thanks!
Julie Deily says
I rest it on the counter. Thanks!
Donna says
DO NOT, under any circumstances…roll the pasta up into nests before you cook them. Mine turned out to be big gloopy balls of pasta. I will never, ever, ever roll them up in cute nests again. I thought they would unwind in the water – even tried to shake them up a bit with a spoon. Didn’t work and my dinner was ruined – although it was tasty! I’ll use this recipe again, only drying on a rack is the only way to go for me.
Corinne says
I’ve been using this recipe for a while now, and while it made great-tasting pasta, the dough was a little crumbly even with 4 T of water – it was moist, but wouldn’t come together with the dough hook of my kitchenaid, so I just hand-kneaded it entirely and skipped the dough hook part because that worked. And, I was happy with the noodles from the recipe as is, until I decided to use 1 cup of semolina flour in place of some of the AP flour this last time, and now have the most amazingly elastic and nicely textured pasta noodles ever. With 2 T of water as instructed, my dough hook kneaded the dough into a nice cohesive ball of tastiness for me, I only had to hand-knead it for a minute or so after it was done. I just had to share – try it if you have the same problems I did with the dough hook kneading the dough!
Tululeh says
I am wondering if anyone has tried this recipe with 00 flour and if so, were there any adjustments?
Phyllis says
Did you ever try it with 00 flour? I’m wondering the same thing.
Ron Osbourn says
“OO” flour has a bit more gluten but it works great in this recipe.
Janice lanner says
This is the best recipe for pasta that I have ever used.i have been making pasta for over 20 years by hand and just went to mixer 3 years ago. This made my life so easy…..
mike says
good recipe…..very easy to follow and perfectly explained……..i could not find the thumbs up icons so here is my written ok
Nicoline Morgan says
Do you dry pasta before dividing the pasta and twirling them into little nests? Or can you twist them into nests without hanging them?
Carol says
You probably have your answer by now but in case you don’t, I let my cut pasta hang for a couple of minutes. I then place a sheet of wax paper on my counter and sprinkle wax paper “lightly with flour”. I twirl the nest(s) on to wax paper. When done twirling I sprinkle a little bit of flour between the strands of pasta. Read that tip on a chef site. Helps to dry out the strands and keep them separate so they don’t stick to each other in a clump. If you freeze the extra as above, never thaw them out before cooking as this makes them stick together. Dump into boiling water and gently move them around in the salted water. Never clumps this way.
Holly says
I was wondering, is there was a vegetarian version of this recipe?
Krysi says
Im guessing you mean without eggs. You can replace the eggs with oil, however, without any eggs at all and just oil, the noodles may fall apart if you make them too thin. I dont know where i found the recipe, but the ingredients are 3c flour, 1c warm water, and 2tbsp olive oil. Instead of using the mixer, youd slowly blend with a fork until all the flour is added, then let the kitchenaid and dough hook do its thing for 5 mins. Let the dough rest for 30-45 mins, and do the rest like it says above. Hope i helped.
Cat says
This recipe is from the kitchenaid pasta roller manual.
Mike says
The recipe in the post is from the manual but the recipe in the comment you’re responding to is not.
Jennifer says
We tried this tonight…mine must have been too dry because it came out in pieces rather than sheets. Any thoughts? We tried adding water with the second batch. Same result. We live in a very humid climate, if that makes a difference!
Ed & Carolyn says
We just finished eating our first batch of pasta. This was also our first experience with our kitchen Aid Mixer and Pasta attachments As others have found your recipe too dry, so did we. We added water as needed by guess and by golly but it came out wonderful. Very easy and tastes great! Thanks for a great post! Ed & Carolyn
Connie says
HI Julie,
Wondering if you have made spinach pasta? I’m hoping to try it soon… Just need to find a good recipe. Do you happen to have one?
Thanks!
Julie Deily says
Hi Connie, so glad you it worked out well for you!! I don’t have a recipe for spinach pasta but if you have the attachments, I think there’s a recipe in there for one? Let me know if there’s not!
Connie says
Julie,
Thank you for such a great recipe and instructions. I made fettuccine and spaghetti today and it was fantastic! My husband and sons raved about how fresh the pasta was. It made me feel good to accomplish such a task…thanks again!
Jessica says
I received the attachments for my birthday. I have always enjoyed cooking but never tried from scratch. The video and the recipe was easy to follow and entertaining.
Thank you!!
P.S. I used bleached flower and had no issue.
Melanie says
I tried your recipe, it was great and easy to follow directions. My family loved the lasagna I made from the pasta dough. The trick to easy to handle dough is to measure the flour correctly. I did not have semolina so I used regular all purpose flour instead. It worked out great. Thanks for the video.
Julie Deily says
Hi Melanie, Yay! that’s Awesome!!
Claudia Saucedo says
I am so excited to try this. Just one question/doubt: all purpose unbleach flour is the usual flour? All of the recipes I have been reviewing before my first try use semolina also. That is why I am choosing your recipe. But not sure if I only take the flour I have in my kitchen right now. I appreciate your help! Btw… I love your postings!
Julie Deily says
Hi Claudia,
You can use bleached all purpose flour too. I just prefer to use unbleached…ever since I started baking and using flours. Hope that helps!
C Kitson says
Great video, thumbs up all the way 🙂 I’ll haveto look into getting a pasta attachment for my Kitchenaid 🙂 I don’t have ANY attchments yet, but this one seems like it would actually get used!
Julie Deily says
It’s totally worth it!!
Misty says
This was my first time making pasta ever, I followed this recipe and my pasta came out great (ok not all were pretty but it was so good). My family loved this pasta and are already asking when I plan on making it again. Thanks for teaching me how to make yummy pasta
Julie Deily says
That’s awesome, Misty! Yay!
Marg Little says
Thanks Julie. I am going home to try it tonight.
Heather says
I have made fresh pasta before, but lost the recipe book that came with my pasta attachment, so I am super glad to have found this recipe. Now to find a recipe on how to make small batches of ricotta cheese. Homemade lasagna, here I come. i don’t care that its gonna be 82 degrees next week. Its never too hot for fresh pasta.
Julie Deily says
Awesome! Heather, I hope you enjoy it! Fresh pasta all year round is what I say!
I love Jennie’s recipes and while I have not tried making my own ricotta yet, I have been wanting to try hers, here it is: http://www.injennieskitchen.com/2011/06/ricotta-recipe-made-with-yogurt/
Kath line says
My friend and I added another egg and about 6 tablespoons of water- but we are at a high altitude. Great pasta- loved the video- will never buy pasta again!
Nathalie says
Great tutorial!
The dough was dry but added water as needed… No problems.
We use semolina flour on the boards afterwards to stop the sticking, and boil only for a minute otherwise it turns to clag.
Absolutely delicious, and definitely a go-to recipe.
Frank says
Julie, great video and instruction!
Bonnie says
Julie I just made my first pasta & used your recipe. The video was great & so helpful. My husband & I made it together. Having another set of hands made it easier. I was just wondering about freezing the dough before making pasta. Have you done this? Also if you can freeze it after you make the pasta & if so what is the process you use. Again thanks so much for a very well done video! Our pasta was delicious. I’ll be waiting to hear from you.
Thanks
Bonnie
Michele Zoetewey says
Do you have pasta recipes for different flours? I am trying to go “Wheat Free” in my diet.
I am also interested in how to make “vegetable flavored pastas. ( ie. spinach, tomato, etc.)
Thanks, Michele Z.
Maria says
I would also like to learn how to make wheat free and vegetable base pastas.
JULIE can you help us?
Thanks!
Nancy says
Hi, I used the same process that you did for flattening out the dough and cutting it, but my issue came with drying it. When I made the dough into “nests” it all just stuck together and when I tried boiling the pasta it was just a messy glob. Any suggestions?
Julie Deily says
Hi Nancy,
I haven’t tried drying my pasta yet but I don’t think they should be nests when you try to dry them. They should be hung and separated. I’m sorry for the confusion and that it didn’t work out for you! I’m going to update the recipe right now.
Derek says
I just had the same “sticking” issue!!! I used the recipe that came with my pasta attachments–that I got yesterday 🙂 I’m not sure what I did wrong and ended up throwing all of my cut, cooked, and extra dough out. My sister, who is a chef, told me to use semolina flour instead of regular flour. I’m totally sad that my first attempt went wrong, but I’m determined to keep trying. I’m wondering now if it would have turned out if i hadn’t “nested” my cut pasta? I did notice though that my dough got kind of sticky as it sat. I’ll just keep trying I guess. Anyone have any good tips or suggestions?
Julie Deily says
Hi Derek,
When is the sticking happening…in the machine or when you boil it? I only let the pasta sit for a few minutes before I boil it. If it’s sticking in the machine, be sure to put a lot of flour on each sides of the sheet before putting it into the machine. Not sure it’s regular flour or semolina, I use both and it works just fine for me. Please feel free to give me more info and I’ll help you troubleshoot!
Shannon Adams says
I just got the pasta attachment set for my birthday and I am so excited!! I watched your video and it was great. I wanted to add herbs to my dough…but figured I should start simple and work my way into that. I can’t wait for fresh pasta for dinner tonight!!
Robert Pettit says
Mixed dough with kitchen aid exactly as manual said. Was just flour and no dough consistency.added water in small amounts and never did make dough. A complete waste of my home grown eggs and time. Am going to store to buy noodles.
Julie Deily says
Hi Robert,
I’m sorry that happened. That’s terrible. Not sure what happened…because I have used this recipe countless times and it works fine for me. Please feel free to email me so we can troubleshoot.
Shannon Adams says
Oh my, that is not good. Don’t give up though!! It is much healthier to make your own at home and so much better tasting!! I also use farm fresh eggs and would be disappointed to have “wasted” them, but something must of gone wrong that is not typical. I am making my first batch tonight and am looking so forward to it!! I have the same recipe from my Kitchen Aide mixer and pasta attachment set that is also used here on this website…so I am hoping for the best. If at first you don’t succeed…try, try again:) Good luck next time!!
Liz S says
See I have the OTHER kitchen aid pasta attachment. If you’ve seen the meat grinder attachment it’s the SAME ONE…only you put the pasta cover on. So the dough rolls through the spiral and pushes out the front. Literally always has me in tears, because the pasta sticks together horrifically! It’s the most horrible attachment ever made. The one you have seems more likely to work. Thanks for the video!
tara says
I haven’t used that type before, both have seen it. Your dough might be too wet when you use it. Also make sure you kneed the dough long enough and then make sure you let it rest before using it.
Julie Deily says
Hi Liz,
That’s a bummer. I just got it and can’t wait to try it. I’ll try to reach out to you and let you know how it goes.
Jonerik says
Thanks for the tips…..I just made my first pasta ever!! 🙂
Julie Deily says
Yay!! So glad it helped!
ch says
mine came out dry. had to add water. other than came out great.
Julie Deily says
Glad it came out great for you!
Janet says
This sthe best recipe. Other ones have been crumbly but tasted good. I am lucky that I have “farm fresh” eggs which makes a beautiful noodle or dumpling, prettier than the pasty grocery store egg. THANK YOU!!
Cat in VT says
Do you have a good recipe for gluten free pasta and have you ever made a whole grain version?
Great video and stuff!
thanks
Cheryl says
Thank you, the video was very helpful. I will try this with my pasta machine, don’t have the kitchen aide attachment yet. Trying to make this for New Year’s Day. They say it good luck for the year. A bowl of pasta. Thank you again.
Loa says
I made this pasta for dinner tonight and it was great! I made a home made alfredo sauce and I felt like I was out at an expensive restaurant! I don’t have the pasta attachment for my kitchen aid but I do have a pasta machine. It was so much easier than I thought it was going to be and I will be making this again. Thank you!
Amanda says
WE need tips on drying and freezing as well!
Amanda says
Thank you for making the this tutorial. I have all the equipment and just needed the help going through the process. Your a big help!
Bea Long says
This is how I make pasta but I never used the stand mixer to mix it . I always mixed it by hand and then used the attachments just to roll it out and cut it..how silly have I been? I learned to do it without a mixer es why I guess? Thanks now I will use my mixer for everything!
Karen Rostad says
I tasted my first homemade pasta at a dinner I attended and went rit home and bought the attachment. With my usual buyers remorse, I wondered what have I done? After seeing this video, I can’t wait for the attachment to come so I can try it for myself.
Paco says
Great video Julie!, finally managed to dust off the kitchen Aid adapters I was able to get on the back of a rebate promotion for my kitchen aid.
TJPECK says
Just tried my past attachment for the first time. EASY! Now I’m boiling water!
Sherry says
I tried this recipe last night. The dough didn’t really come together for me in the mixer, so I had my BF knead it by hand. It was a bit too dry, so he wet his hands to knead it. I let it rest for 30 minutes, cut it into four pieces, and started feeding it through the attachment. AND IT WAS AWESOME! Loads of fresh linguine which we ate of all! This is a very light, delicious recipe. Can’t wait to make some more on the weekend.
Kayla says
What I found that I needed to do was add 1/4 cup of water instead of 2 tablespoons. Mine was dry and crumbly with only 2 tablespoons.
Julie Deily says
Hi Kayla, that definitely happens from time to time that’s why the recipe said to add more water if needed. Thanks.
ch says
mine too. no big deal
Marly says
I love the idea of making my own pasta, but have never tried it myself. Thanks for the inspiration to take the leap!
Yelena says
I would love to learn to make a homemade pasta. Seems very easy. Thank you Julie!
Angie @ Big Bear's Wife says
It looks so easy!! I need to get that attachment!
Stephanie @ Plain Chicken says
I am going to try this recipe this weekend. I have lots of pasta recipes, but I haven’t had a lot of success with them. Fingers Crossed!!
katie says
I love your video–you really do make it seem easy. I guess I need to open up my attachments and just start making homemade pasta already!
TidyMom says
The video was fantastic Julie!! I can’t wait to get a pasta attachment for my mixer – I just upgraded to a 6 QT professional KA mixer and love it!
Kiersten @ Oh My Veggies says
Totally gorgeous, Julie! I so love my KitchenAid pasta maker too–I was really surprised at how easy it was to use!

Homemade pasta is the bomb. I dont think my KA pasta attachment works as good as yours. 🙁 It never seems to cut the pasta all the way through. I just get frustrated and never use it. Sad really. 🙁
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
When I was a kid, my mother ONLY made homemade pasta and it was soooo much better than anything that could ever come out of a box. I haven’t done it with my own kids, though, mostly because it’s so time consuming.

I’ve still never made pasta and really can’t wait to try it 🙂 your pasta looks fabulous!!!
Monica says
Your pasta looks great. I’ve only made fresh once – and as part of a group – during a cooking class. I recently watched an America’s Test Kitchen show where they showed you how to make fresh pasta without a machine. But your demo makes it look easy also!
Carolyn says
I’ve still never tried my hand at homemade pasta. It’s an art, and you’ve mastered it beautifully!
Kelly @ Texas Type A Mom says
This looks so delicious and like something I want to try but I’m still really intimidated so don’t know if I will. I can’t wait to see what else you create with your pasta attachment!
Julie Deily says
Hey Kelly, did you happen to watch the video? It’s superrrrr simple, I promise. I was intimidated too until I did it. It tastes amazing and I couldn’t believe how simple it was.
fabiola@notjustbaked says
Pardon the lingo… Love this, you are a baller! Homemade pasta is the best.
Aggie says
This is awesome Juile! I have always wanted that attachment. I remember making pasta with my grandparents when I was a kid, we did it all by hand though! My grandparents would love one of these!
Jeanette says
Love your video Julie! And those nests of pasta look so professional!
Katrina @ In Katrina's Kitchen says
LOVE the video! I don’t have the attachment yet. Looks awesome!
Eileen says
You make it look so easy!! I wasn’t aware that there was a pasta attachment. Will have to put that on my wish list. Thanks for the video.
Sommer@ASpicyPerspective says
I LOVE my pasta attachment, and have used it to thin out pastry crust as well. Such lovely little pasta nests!
Laura (Got Chocolate) says
I LOVE this video, Julie! LOVE. IT! WOW, I’m super impressed that you made pasta! you make it look SO easy! 😀 😀 😀
Alicia @ Alicia Carlson Photography says
Awesome video, Julie!
Maria Tadic says
I love making my own pasta! Have you ever used the kitchenaid pasta extruder? I have it and followed the recipe for the dough and it was too sticky for the machine and everything just got gunked up! Have any suggestions?
Nutmeg Nanny says
Yum! I haven’t made homemade pasta but it’s something I have been wanting to do. I really need to get a pasta attachment!
Julie @ Table for Two says
I definitely can appreciate homemade pasta! I just made it for the first time a few months ago and I am in love and don’t ever wanna go back! I need to start making dough and freezing it and then taking it out before I leave for work so when I come back, we can have fresh pasta 🙂 Great video demonstration!! I loved watching it even though I already knew how to do it. It’s great for someone who’s never done it before. Good job, Julie 🙂
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com says
Cool video, Julie!! And I can’t wait to get the attachments for my Kitchenaid — love making fresh pasta at home 🙂
shelly (cookies and cups) says
Oh wow! This is so so cool! You know I don’t have any attachments for my kitchen aids..I think I might need to remedy that!
Also, i love your pictures 🙂
SALLY TEWS says
Great Video~thumbs up:-)
naomi says
Such a great job on the video, Julie. I love it!!! Those photos-LOVE the lighting. Beautifully made, composed and shared.
Heidi @foodiecrush says
My husband gave me an attachment last year for Christmas and I love it! And the recipe from the manual is spot on, the same they use on Cooks Illustrated, so obviously well vetted. Great vid! Thumbs up 🙂
Carol | a cup of mascarpone says
This is an absolutely wonderful post!!! Thanks so much for sharing! Great video!
Kelly Senyei | Just a Taste says
I love, love, love this, Julie! I’m dying to get the pasta attachment for my KitchenAid. And your video is fantastic!
Kristen says
I really want the pasta roller attachment. I love my KA pasta extruder attachment for making pasta! What great pictures, Julie!
Bev @ Bev Cooks says
Get. Out.
claire @ the realistic nutritionist says
I just got the amazing attachment and I couldn’t agree more. It’s the BEST!!
Erin @ Texanerin Baking says
Awesome video! I like how you showed how to do the nest-making part.
I’ve gotten really lazy with pasta making. 15 seconds in the food processor, no flouring, one time through the settings 1, 3, 5, and 7. Bam! Done. And no waiting around or anything. It works fine if you want to eat it right away, but your pretty pasta piles have inspired me to try it the proper way. 🙂
Koko @ KokoLikes says
Julie this looks unreal!!!!! Yummy! We registered for a pasta attachment, I can’t wait to make some of my own!
Lorrie says
I want this set and the ravioli attachment and also the pasta extruder too.
Erika @ The Hopeless Housewife says
Nothing beats homemade pasta!
Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love. says
Homemade pasta is totally the way to go! I use an old fashioned machine since its what my family has done for so long (we’re Italian, so lots of pasta making going on!). I have been curious to try the pasta attachment though.
Cassie | Bake Your Day says
This video is awesome, Julie! I love homemade pasta but usually have to roll it and cut it by hand. I hope to have the attachment soon!
Ali | Gimme Some Oven says
Julie, your video looks SO GOOD! I also love that top photo. Beautifully done!
I’ve always been intimidated to try making homemade pasta, but you have totally inspired me. This attachment is brilliant!
Miss @ Miss in the Kitchen says
Great video! I love making homemade pasta but haven’t in years. I need to get a pasta attachment for my KitchenAid!
Lori says
I love making my own pasta, but I’m still working with the hand crank. I think the attachment would make it much easier, especially with just one person in the kitchen. Now I’m craving pasta. There’s just nothing like homemade!
Joanne @ Fifteen Spatulas says
Watch Julie’s video! It’s great =) haha. Seriously though, I’m guilty of being a little intimidated by pasta…fresh pasta is so amazing though, I need to make it more. I also need to get that attachment!!! I’ve tried to find one in stores and can never find it.
Carla @ Carlas Confections says
I gave it a thumbs up 😀 Its a great video! And I really didnt know it was so easy! I need to get me a pasta attachment!
