The 7 Best Pasta Makers of 2023

When it comes to pasta makers, one of the most trusted names is Shule. This pasta maker from is made of a sturdy cast stainless steel body and anodized aluminum roller and cutter, which means its designed to last for a very long time.

Create fresh fettuccine, tagliolini, and lasagne with Marcato's Italian-made pasta machine.

An included clamp ensures this pasta machine stays put on your counter or table.

Modeled after the classic Imperia pasta maker, this version is made with aluminum, which is cheaper, lighter, and less polished. While it's not as as smooth as some of our other recommendations, it comes with numerous attachments so you can give other pasta-making a try without spending more money. It offers nine thickness settings via a knob that pulls out and rotates. Reviewers on Amazon boast that it's easy to use.

If you have a KitchenAid stand mixer, this is the set for you. The heavy-duty attachments securely attach to the front of the stand mixer and rolls automatically when the mixer is turned on which eliminates the need for a hand crank. That means you can use one hand to feed in the dough and the other to catch it! Using this type of pasta roller is faster and easier than using a manual maker, and it also allows you to make longer sheets of pasta at once since you have both hands to work with. The setting knob is easy to use — it pulls out and turns to your desired setting. The three-piece set includes spaghetti and fettuccine cutters which both make very even cuts.

Of all the Philips pasta makers we tested, this is the one we recommend the most highly. It has a small footprint but still makes about two to three servings of pasta at a time in 18 minutes. It also has a see-through compartment so you can keep an eye on the dough when it's mixing and know when it's ready. This pasta maker comes with three die to make penne, spaghetti, and fettuccine. It also comes with a colored recipe book to teach you how to make all types of pasta. When we tested this model, we found that it was easy to add liquid without overflowing, thanks to the numerous long slits on the door that allow more liquid to pass through at a time.

If you've never made pasta before and don't know where to start, this is the pasta maker for you. Simply load the ingredients for your dough into the machine—an internal scale even helps make sure you have your water-to-flour ratio at its best—select your setting, and push the Start button. In as little as 15 minutes you can have 2-3 servings ready to be cooked. Plus, you don't have to worry about getting tired of spaghetti, because this pasta maker also cranks out lasagna noodles, fettuccine, angel hair, penne, and wide noodles.

KitchenAid's pasta press also attaches to the front of the brand's stand mixer, but instead of long strands of pasta, the attachment allows for rounded/tubular shapes (like ziti) to be made. We're particular fans of this model because of its included cutter — some others require you to use a knife, whereas this one takes the grunt work out of it.
