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.

It will not. Large shells and cavatelli are completely different types of pasta. There may be an extruded attachment for a kitchen aid stand mixer that will do that or there may be another brand of pasta extruder on the market that makes them .. Pretty sure that's an Italian American creation, the large stuffed shells. Make manicotti! :)

Just received my set, it comes with 4 attachments of which one of these attachments makes two different types of pasta. One attachment makes spaghetti, one makes ravioli, one makes reginette, and the attachment with two makes fettuccine and tagliolini. It also states it makes lasagne on the box.

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.

You cannot make stuffed pasta like ravioli or cannelloni with this attachment, but you can make rigatoni, which could then be stuffed. I can imagine using a pastry bag to pipe a filling into the rigatoni, then sealing the ends. My favorite Italian restaurant makes such a dish and it is fantastic. But this attachment is meant mainly for making the long or tubular pasta shapes, not stuffed pastas. Consider the ravioli attachment, but you would also need the pasta roller first to make the sheets. Good luck!

I used Ronzoni Smart Taste Thin Spagetti and was only able to fit two in. I've never had a problem with cooked pasta leaking through and the water drains nicely. I still love it, it hanging on a hook inside my cabinet taking up no space!!

Yes! It works great for steaming vegetables as well as using to cook and drain pasta.

It cuts spaghetti size and fettuccine size and comes with pasta roller. I love mine and have no problems with it. I make a double batch of homemade noodles and freeze half of them for later.

I think it would, but I agree with other answer, there are more suitable strainers for pasta

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.

can you use other attachments on this kitchen aid, like the pasta and griner meats?????

I think it is great for pasta. I tried it mixed with all purpose flour for pizza crust, but the texture was too tough. The texture is not as fine as regular flour..

Don't know yet. The base machine with linguini and spaghetti cutters works very well. Have not used other cutters, including the small ravioli cutter attachment other than the initial waste product cleaning process. the small noodle/crinkle edge attachment looks interesting and want to try it next. If all work as promised, the price is a good one for the entire set. If you don't use it regularly or put a few attachments in deepest recesses of cabinets, they are just expensive toys. The machine itself is top notch.

It slides on to the press on the same tabs as the fettuccine/spaghetti attachment that came with the press. It attaches very nicely and works well.

I have made pasta with it. The noodles are kind of thick (I tried the spaghetti and fettucini nozzles) but I love homemade noodles! I have done shaved ice for snow cones too. No problems with it at all. I have not tried amy nut butters or anything with it though.

It depends on your taste. Using the Marcato Pasta Machine I had really good results with the '6' setting.

Depends on how much pasta. I use it to steam a whole head of cauliflower and it does it perfectly. I don't know as my boys don't eat pasta :( so we don't eat pasta. I think it would be fine as long as it is the smaller noodles.
