Making pasta at home is really simple and you could have fun doing it. Going to a restaurant every time you get the urge for delicious pasta can be expensive, especially for me, because I want pasta all the time. Eating pre-packaged pasta from the supermarket taste like plastic, that is, if it is that good. That is why the ideal solution is to be able to make pasta on your KitchenAid stand mixer with the KithchenAid pasta attachment. Once you get one, you will discover how simple making pasta at home can be. This way you will make the pasta dishes that you are craving and your favorite pasta recipe.

Anything is possible from linguine, fettuccine even ravioli. The next step is simply putting it on a pasta drying rack and letting it dry. You can either get the old-fashioned wooden one or the steel ones. They all serve the same purpose. This takes a little time, but patience is a virtue that you will be rewarded for.
