Antree 3-1 Pasta Roller & Cutter Attachment Set for KitchenAid Stand Mixers

Why it's worth it

A third-party set with a roller, a spaghetti cutter, and a fettuccine cutter, all stainless and all hub-driven. It costs a fraction of the KitchenAid version and does the same work, with slightly narrower sheets and a bit less polish.

If you want fresh pasta but the OEM set makes you wince, this is the answer. Third-party pasta attachments in this class typically run 40 to 60 percent below the KitchenAid price while using the identical hub connection, according to reporting from Good Housekeeping. Antree's set is the one KitchenAid owners buy most often. Same three tools, same eight thickness settings, and blades made from SUS304 stainless.

The sheets come out 5.5 inches wide instead of 6. You'll notice that only if you're making lasagna, where a half inch changes how the sheets tile in the pan. For spaghetti, fettuccine, or anything you're cutting anyway, it's a difference you'll never think about again. The set ships in its own hard case, which the KitchenAid version doesn't do.
