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 is okay for spaghetti, but the mesh does allow some through. Definitely better for larger pastas

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.

No I have not tried the other attachments. I pretty much just use it to dice onions, tomatoes and garlic. I am sorry that I was not that much help.

The Marcato 150 comes with a dual sided attachment for making Fettuccini or Spaghetti. There are other attachments available for Linguini, Vermicelli, (Thin Spaghetti), Cappelinni (Angel Hair). You can also make Lasagna or Ravioli. How long your noodles are is up to you. When you "roll out" the dough through the rollers, you start at 0 (rollers wide apart), then dial up the numbers until you get the thiness you need. The dough will get longer as you roll it out, so just cut the dough to the length you'd like. For Spaghetti or Fettuccini, I usually go to "7", skipping every other number. I have no problem keeping the rollers clean. The key to making great pasta is a dry dough; elastic, but not wet or sticky. You just lightly brush off the rollers, because the dough will not stick. If it does, let the dough dry, then it will brush off easily. Easy recipe for pasta dough: 2 cups Semolina flour 2 cups All Purpose flour 6 eggs 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil pinch of salt I let my bread machine do the work, but you can knead it.....the important thing is to wrap the dough in plastic, and let it rest for 30 minutes. Depending upon humidity, you may need to add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. Fresh pasta is WAY better than boxed, IMHO. I'm never quite sure what people mean by "macaroni", but if you mean a short, hollow noodle, this machine will not do that.

While the drive shaft of the motor should fit the pasta maker, I'm not sure how you would keep the motor from falling out of the maker....mine has a spring-steel clamp that holds it tight to the pasta maker.

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.

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.

I don't like it because it is hard to clean. I only use it to make noodle, but it seems to me it can press pasta that thin.

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 believe it will. There's an accessory drive on the front of the unit, and as long as KitchenAid makes a pasta attachment you should be in business.

Yes but I wouldn't really recommend this product. I think the pasta comes out mushy or all stuck together. It's easier to wash a pot...

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

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..

I haven't tried it for grain, but it works for everything else. I made pasta sauce by grilling some tomatoes that were drizzled in olive oil and some spices, then pulsed them in the blender and it made a perfect sauce.

The pasta roller does the lasagna type noodles , the other roller cuts the dough in maybe 1/4 inch strips. or less. I have only used it for making crackers so far, but it does a wonderful job on those.. just thin enough to be crispy!.If the fettuccine is a bit wider than spaghetti -- then yes, this does cut that size too. I may actually do that this weekend.

Well, first, you need a roller attachment to run the dough thru several times until you reach the desired thickness for the pasta, secondly, you'll need the pasta cutter which will cut the dough rolled out into various types of pasta, for example, fettechini, spaghetti. The pasta roller also acts as a lasagna roller. Most sets are sold in three pieces, the dough roller, and two attachments for various kinds of pasta. So, I recommend getting the roller and the two pasta cutters for various styles of pasta. Buying them separately is more expensive. Buy the three attachment set and save yourself some grief.
