10 Best Pasta Makers
for December 2024

The Philips Pasta and Noodle Maker Plus delivers all of the benefits of a food mill, at a more modest price, and with a broader range of pasta shapes. It can make both dry pasta and noodles, but the noodles tend to be a bit on the thick and large side, which is a nice feature if you're looking to build a pasta course with homemade noodles. It also takes less work than its competition, as the machine mixes and extrudes the ingredients in one fell swoop, while the GoWise Multi-Blade Top Blade attachment has you extruding and cooking your noodles separately. The Pasta and Noodle Maker Plus is a high-quality machine, with outstanding performance and new features like automatic cleaning. The machine can stand on end to keep it clean, and the pasta maker has helpfully marked each of the eight different settings so you can quickly and easily identify what each setting does.

Food processors now come with all sorts of attachments, but this pasta maker attachment from Antree is the first I've seen to incorporate ravioli cutter, pasta roller, and ravioli maker into one package. It works just like a pasta roller, but it's the easiest, fastest way to roll out a sheet of pasta dough to make noodles, ravioli, or lasagna sheets. It's especially handy when preparing the long spaghetti noodles for the thicker lasagna sheets, especially when the sheets are on the thin side. It's easy to use, and the ravioli maker makes adorable ravioli strips. The pasta sheet roller is handy for lasagna sheets, and the pasta cutter has 8 different thickness settings, so you can make noodles ranging from 1/16-inch to 1/4-inch thick (and even smaller). Antree may have developed a pasta machine that makes pasta, but the best thing about this unit is how versatile the three attachments are. You can use it to make a variety of pastas, and it's easy, quick, and convenient. It does have down sides: It's not dishwasher-safe (it has a protective cover), and it's a bit on the pricey side at $99.99, but the total cost is still reasonable for a kitchen aid attachment.

We like how easy it is to use and how quickly it makes organic pasta. It extrudes delicious focaccia, smoked salmon couscous, and spinach ravioli with great results. The printed directions are easy to follow. The juicer extracts fruit juices so you can make fresh, healthy sauces and dressings for your pasta. It's compact and weighs less than 5 pounds, so we put it on the table instead of on a separate counter. It does a good job of extracting juice and does, in fact, make us healthier. The downside is that it can be difficult to get the machine to seal around the pasta if you aren't quite sure which way to turn the crank. The pasta maker is easy to clean, too. The pasta maker comes with a 5-year warranty with a 1-year warranty on the juicer.

This pasta maker is sturdy and well-made, and the pasta it produces looks great. It's also a pretty inexpensive pasta maker, considering all the accessories it comes with. The pasta maker and ravioli maker are the only two attachments you'll need if you want to make more than just fettuccine and spaghetti. The pasta drying rack makes drying the pasta easy; we rarely had to dry any pasta for more than 30 minutes. It's super easy to assemble and disassemble. The only flaw is that the pasta maker doesn't come with a pre-assembled machine, which means there's a bit of assembly required before you can use it, and the instructions weren't very clear. However, the directions say to "Leave the sheets on the roller for 3-4 minutes. Leave the master roller for 2-3 minutes." But if you use a timer, you can assemble it and dump in the sheets, then cut it off after the rollers are warmed up. We found that the rollers take about 3 minutes to warm up, so it's not a big deal.

In the three years we've tested pasta makers, this is the best one we've ever tried. It's the best blend of features, performance, and affordability, and it cooks up fresh, delicious pasta like no one we've tested before. The Gourmex machine's big advantage is the adjustable thickness settings, which allow you to choose the thickness of the noodles you want to create. This lets you make thin, long pasta if you feel like eating a salad, or thick, wide noodles if you like to indulge in lasagna. Our other top pick, the Duxtop Pasta Roller, has only two thickness settings and only kneads the pasta once, which makes it difficult to create long noodles. The Gourmex machine is also considerably quieter than its competitors.

Pasta maker machines are one of those kitchen gadgets that on the surface seems like an extravagance. They're cool, they're different, they let you create fresh pasta from scratch... but still, why? There are all kinds of pasta-making devices on the market, from classic hand rollers to electric ones. Some crank out rice, some make noodles, some make doughs, some make cakes. But in our testing, we found that the Pasta Maker Machine by Dini is the best all-around pasta maker we tested. One cool feature is that it has the option to receive dough via Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook. All you have to do is log onto one of these services and share some pics of your pasta dough, and within minutes you'll get a proper rolling head. There were still a few kinks to work out (the Instagram dough didn't quite upload correctly), but the short wait provided us an opportunity to try it out. It works just like our manual roller, but it's faster and more precise. And with the Instagram option, you can get pasta at the touch of a button. The Pasta Maker Machine can also knead doughs, so you'll no longer have to rely on the packaged stuff. It works with separate heads for making different types of pasta. But our favorite feature, honestly, is that it's cheap. Compared to hand-operated pasta makers, it's half the price and it's more than up to the job.

The Atlas 150 is as easy to use as it looks. It's the most compact pasta machine we tested, and it rolls out pasta sheets to 150-millimeters wide at 10 different thicknesses, ranging from 0.6 millimeters to 4.8 millimeters. That makes it ideal for a wide variety of pasta dishes, from lasagna sheets to noodle fettuccine. Unlike many pasta machines on the market, the Atlas 150 has absolutely no plastic parts, so it will last for years and look as good as new. It also has all of the attachments you need to make enough pasta for a party. Best of all, Marcatos stands behind this product with a 10-year warranty.

The Nuvantee Pasta Machine is a decent entry-level pasta maker that does a good job of making flat pasta, but the roller and cutter attachments are a little flimsy. We would recommend picking up an additional attachment for making dough or noodles if you want more versatility. As it currently stands, this pasta maker performs well at making pasta, but it's not ideal for creating dough. The addition of dough rollers and cutters would make the Nuvantee Pasta Machine one of the most versatile pasta makers we've tested. Making dough is extremely easy, and even beginners will be able to produce delicious homemade pizza, ravioli, and more. The pasta maker is a little slow, but that shouldn't be a major concern. Most home chefs are happy to wait for the dough or pasta to be cooked instead.

The Pasta Maker Deluxe set makes cooking pasta easy. Just place the noodle dough in the hopper and crank. The pasta maker rollers are designed to handle thicker shapes effortlessly. A high quality pasta machine that is sure to last a lifetime.

The ISILER 9 is an all-around impressive pasta maker. It offers more adjustment settings and 9 settings compared to the previous best-seller, the Pasta Wizard, and it's smaller, lighter, and quieter. The rollers and cutter are plastic, different than the stainless steel units of our former top pick. Compared with other pasta machines, the ISILER 9's 9 thickness settings provide a wider range of thickness options. Compared with manual pasta machines, the ISILER 9 is significantly easier to use and to get started on. The rollers do an excellent job of rolling dough into sheets, and both the rollers and cutter are easy to clean in the dishwasher. The ISILER 9 also has a large-capacity hopper, so you can make several pounds of pasta at a time, enough for a nice dinner of homemade fettuccini Alfredo, lasagna, or ravioli. While we found the unit to be easier to use than the manual Pasta Wizard, it still requires some practice to learn how to make pasta. The manual includes very detailed, step-by-step illustrated instructions, along with helpful illustrations and drawings, making simple pasta making accessible to everyone.
