Fresh pasta is pretty hard to beat for satisfaction factor, but it involves a handful of work, which in turn can be a deterrent. Hand crank rollers are not only big and heavy, they can leave you feeling that you should have been born with three arms - one to feed the dough, one to guide the pasta out, and one to crank the roller.
The good people at Kitchenaid really did us all a favour by developing their roller set. The entire package of three rollers is less than half the size of a hand crank unit's storage box, and will definitely cut your effort in half too. For starters, since you already have the mixer, the dough is no problem. Then you pull out the lasagna attachment, set the speed on low and start feeding and folding the dough through to work it and take it gradually thinner. By now you should start to feel guilty at how easy it is. Once you have the dough thin enough, you can start making your lasagna or stuffed pasta, or you can load up the linguini or fettucini cutter and cut the noodle you want. Done. Cook it and eat it.
