Yes, I've got the one that rolls out sheets that came in the same box as the fettuccine and spaghetti cutters. Mine work fine. What's yours doing?Does anyone else use a Kitchenaid pasta cutter attachment? I have a couple different ones that do spaghetti and both of them seem to not cut well. Is this how they all are?
When it comes to cutting pasta, the results can really depend on the composition and texture of your dough. Make sure you've got the consistency just right before you start slicing. If the dough is too soft or too stiff, it can be a real pain to cut through cleanly.Does anyone else use a Kitchenaid pasta cutter attachment?

When I do the fettuccine attachment they always turn out perfectly, but the spaghetti one some of the strands stick together. It can be a pain in the butt to separate them, but I guess I could just do the fettuccine attachment, since I like that style better. Or just cut it into Tagliatelle by hand.Yes, I've got the one that rolls out sheets that came in the same box as the fettuccine and spaghetti cutters. Mine work fine. What's yours doing?
That's pretty much what I do. My sheets always turn out beautiful, and that has never been an issue. I think I still have my hand crank one somewhere.I also have found that if I don't have the sheets floured properly when running through the cutter they stick a little. To avoid that I generally flour them after running through, then let them rest a little bit (maybe 10 minutes) before running through the cutter.
No I meant after you run them through, flour and let them rest before cutting.That's pretty much what I do. My sheets always turn out beautiful, and that has never been an issue. I think I still have my hand crank one somewhere.

Oh. Yeah, I lay them flat and run my hand across them before cutting them, if there is any resistance, I smooth it out with flour. There is nothing worse than putting a sheet of pasta through that is too wet and sticky and you watch the die get all gunked up in slow motion.No I meant after you run them through, flour and let them rest before cutting.
Yes your sheets are lovely!
