If a trip to Italy doesn’t fit in your budget, don’t fret. You can make your own fresh pasta at home. This gourmet pasta press KitchenAid attachment makes it easy to whip up six shapes of pasta: spaghetti, bucatini, rigatoni, fusilli and large or small macaroni. To use the attachment, just connect it to your stand mixer’s power hub and add your favorite homemade pasta dough. The mixer’s motor will force the dough through the press, creating the selected pasta shape. All you need to do is trim the pasta with the built-in wire cutter once it reaches your desired length.

Plus, the included lid creates a miniature steam oven that yields crispy on the outside, soft on the inside loaves. One of our editors tested the bread bowl—and was very impressed. It’s a bread baking essential!
