How to attach your 3-in-1 pasta attachment
Ready to turn your stand mixer into a pasta maker? Whether you've chosen our stainless steel or plastic pasta attachment, these hints and tips will help you start your pasta-making journey. But first things first. Let's get you set up. Before you begin, make sure all the parts are clean and ready to go!
Turn your stand mixer off
Turn the mixer off and remove the bowl.
Remove the hub cover
On a tilt-head stand mixer, unscrew the hub cover to remove it. On a bowl-lift stand mixer, depending on the model, flip up the hub cover to open it or follow the same instructions as for the tilt-head stand mixer.
Insert the pasta attachment
Insert the attachment into the hub, making sure the shaft fits into the square socket. You may have to rotate it back and forth slightly. The pin fits into the notch when in the proper position.
Tighten the hub screw
Tighten up the attachment hub knob until the attachment is completely secured to the mixer. Now you're ready to start!
What can I make?
Roll, cut and customize everything from lasagna sheets to fettuccine with one sleek attachment and 8 thickness settings. And it’s not just for pasta. It’s handy for all kinds of dough, like pizza, dumplings or empanadas. Here are just a few ideas to savor:
Spaghetti & fettuccine
From silky spaghetti strands to ribbons of rich, golden fettuccine—roll out pasta night just the way you like it. Twirl, toss and enjoy with your favorite sauce.
Lasagna sheets
Wide, smooth and endlessly versatile— homemade lasagna sheets bring comfort and satisfaction in every layered bite, from rich ragu and cheese to delicate veggie stacks.
Ravioli
Delicate parcels packed with flavor—roll pasta sheets for homemade ravioli and get creative with fillings and folds. A little effort but a lot of joy on the plate.
Dumpling wrappers
Use the roller to make uniformly paper-thin (or slightly chewy) circles, ready to wrap whatever fillings you dream up. From fragrant pork to mushroom-packed delights.
Egg noodles
Soft, springy and full of flavor—egg noodles made from scratch bring a richness that store-bought just can’t touch. Stir-fry, simmer or slurp away.
Empanadas
Roll your dough for flaky, golden pockets waiting to be filled and folded. Whether you go savory or sweet, homemade empanadas give every bite a little extra love.
Pastry & pizza dough
Buttery pastry or crisp pizza crust—your new attachment’s pasta-making power helps roll it all with ease. Perfect pies, tarts and stone-baked slices start right here.
Let's get making pasta
Before you start, tie back long hair and avoid loose clothing or jewelry—it helps keep you safe around moving parts. Make sure the top housing is in place before using the attachment.
Prepare your dough
Prepare pasta dough according to your chosen recipe. Divide it up into smaller portions, around 100-150 g each. Knead each piece of dough into a rectangle roughly 1/2 inch thick and 3-4 inches wide. Here’s our favorite recipe for pasta dough.
Knead and smooth the dough
Set your stand mixer to speed 4. Start on roller setting 1 and feed in the flattened dough. For cleaner edges, fold the dough like a letter—bringing the sides to the center—and roll again. Repeat until it’s smooth, pliable and wide enough for the roller. Lightly dust with flour as you go to stop sticking.
Roll to your desired thickness
Continue feeding the dough through the rollers, increasing the setting one step at a time. Don’t fold the dough during this part—just keep rolling until you reach the thickness you need.
Cut into pasta
Once you’ve got your sheet, simply feed it through the pasta cutter. Match the right thickness to your chosen pasta shape.

How to remove, clean and care for your machine
A little care goes a long way. Keeping your pasta attachment clean and well looked after helps it stay in top shape, batch after batch. The pasta attachment is not dishwasher safe. Here’s how to safely remove and clean it properly:
Switch off and unplug
Turn your stand mixer OFF and unplug it before you start cleaning.
Remove the attachment
Take the pasta attachment off the mixer. Pop the hub cover back on and tighten the attachment knob.
Let it dry, then brush
Remove the pasta cover and let the attachment air dry for about an hour. Once any dough has dried, use the included cleaning brush to remove it. If needed, gently tap the attachment with your hand to help loosen any stubborn bits. Use the pick end of the brush for hard-to-reach areas.
Polish and store
Once clean, give the attachment a quick polish with a soft, dry cloth. Store it in a dry place at room temperature.
