Default Pasta dough in the KitchenAid?

I'll add a "me too" to this one. I use the KA for the pasta dough, works
fine. Making fresh pasta for company has a major wow factor - at least for
my friends. You'll really enjoy using the attachments. I don't have the
extruder, although am considering getting it.
