does it work well with pasta attachment?

Yes! The pasta attachment is amazing! I've made all of the shapes, but especially like the rigatoni style. Just be sure to check the manual for speed needed, as each shape requires a different speed. Also, after using it often, the best way to clean up, is to set all the pieces out over night and let the extra pasta bits dry in the plate. They will brush right out in the morning.

You will need to have a separate attachment to roll your pasta. To see how this works, there is an excellent video on YouTube with Peter Pasta http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dufoH9mFEeE

It's slim pickings for attachments for the 180 mm Atlas pasta maker. There are tons of different attachments for the more common 150 mm version. Many people prefer to manually cut their pasta to width with a chef's knife anyway. That's to say, roll the pasta dough to thickness, make into a roll and cut to desired thickness. Might actually be easier than a contraption. If you are interested in learning more about making your own pastas, there are some great online courses at craftsy dot com. The guy is an instructor at Culinary Institute of America, so pretty accomplished.

I had to buy a new pasta machine because my Atlas did not fit with the Norpro Motor. I think I bought a Norpro pasta machine so they would be compatible. But it was worth it, because now I can make my homemade pasta in half the time and I can do it without my husband's help and no more sore arms.

I think it comes with it. I don't use the attachment but I do go through a lot of pasta machines and I think the Atlas ones always come with it.

No but it has a mechanism (pin) that attaches it to a hole in the pasta machine. You may want to verify such hole/slot is present in your pasta machine.

I use this for both pasta and panettones. Works better than US all purpose for these. King Authur makes a good 00, but they don't really sell it over 2 pounds.

There is another attachment called the "extruder" for pasta types like Penne, hollow spaghetti, etc. with that you are complete for almost all types of pasta. Have fun.

My experience has been that the double cutter that came with the machine makes totally square pasta that I couldn't ever get to cut cleanly and this spaghetti attachment makes pretty close to round spaghetti (just a little bit flattened). The spaghetti it makes is about the same size as the square pasta the included double cutter makes or is maybe a tiny bit bigger.

No. It comes with 2 studs beside the drive shaft which fit into 2 holes beside the crankshaft hole on certain types of pasta machines. If your model of pasta machine does not have these holes you can't mount this motor. However if you are comfortable drilling metal, it is relativly easy to add them.

Yes, that is what I use it for, and I am satisfied given the price. However, the legs keep the strainer well above the bottom of the pot, so your pasta pot should be deep. Also, your pot lid will not fit tightly on the pot, which was not a problem for me.

No, it wouldn't work, it will "rice" potatoes or eggs, but they come out so short/small/fine, noodles wouldn't stay together, better off with pasta maker

Yes, it would work fine for pasta, especially for bigger sizes of pasta, like penne. Although it's possible that small pasta, like orzo or small shells, might fall through the holes a bit.

The Marcota Pasta Machine has a pair of flanges opposite of the roller. All the Marcota attachments for this machine slips onto these flanges. I do not own a Pasta Queen but judging from pictures of it I do not think this attachment will be usable on the Pasta Queen. The Pasta Queen appears to have the cutters built into the machine. There are no flanges to accept the Marcota attachments.

The motor comes with mounts to attach to pasta machine. Ps its makes work so easy.

Not good for pizza, but for pasta it is great. Put in some lemon pepper when mixing up some dough.

The pasta you are cutting should not be wet and or sticky. All I do is brush out any pieces that are around the cutting blades and finish by wiping with a dry towel. I was disappointed with this attachment because the gear that you insert the handle into seems to be plastic and it stripped out after a lot of use. It worked fine until then. Good Luck
