"I just got a new pasta roller/cutter set for my KA and I haven't tried this yet, but it looks good. Prep time doesn't include time for the pasta to rest."

This pasta tasted great, and cooked up nicely. I did find the dough to be a little too soft so I added about another 1/4 cup of flour and kneaded it by hand for a few minutes before chilling it. Definatly worth a try if you want to make your own fresh pasta. Made for ZWT 7.
