Hi everybody:

A few years back I bought my Mom whatever super-duper KitchenAid that Costco
has along with numerous attachments. For whatever reason, the pasta roller
set scares the hell out of her and she decided to send them to me because
she likes her manual pasta maker better. This means I had to buy a
KitchenAid for myself if I ever wanted to use those way-cool Italian
roller-and-cutter things.

Because I'm cheap, except when it comes to my Mom, I finally got a mixer on
eBay for $51 (locally) and plugged in those bad-boy Eye-talian rollers and
now I'm absolutely hooked on making my own pasta. (!) The workmanship and
quality is truly impressive and they work like a charm. I never thought I
could make pasta this good... ever.

(sigh.)

Now that I've got the fever, I've been eyeing the ravioli attachment for a
few weeks now, but have been hesitant because they're kind of expensive. I'm
wondering if they're worth it, or if I might just do better making ravioli
myself by hand.

Does anyone have some experience with the ravioli attachment? I could use
a little guidance.

Hasta,
Curt Nelson

Curt, I saw a few years back a discussion on one of the related news
groups regarding the ravioli attachment not being to do the job so
well -- my words. I'll bet if you google rfc, the baking or bread
groups, you will find it easily. I was purchssing the pasta rollers
myself and I believe someone was thinking I wanted the ravioli
attachment, vs. the rollers.

Take it slow and DON'T overstuff the ravioli.
