Best Pasta Makers in 2027
A pasta maker rolls and cuts fresh dough into sheets, fettuccine, spaghetti and more. Roller machines suit hands-on cooks; extruder machines push dough through dies for shapes rollers cannot make. The picks below cover the category's main types and sizes. Where a standalone review exists, it is linked; where it does not, the card states what to verify before buying.

The winner is insideHow to choose
Roller vs. extruder
Rollers make flat pasta and filled pasta sheets beautifully. Extruders make penne, rigatoni and other hollow shapes rollers cannot.
Roller width
A wider roller makes lasagne sheets in fewer passes. A narrow roller is fine for noodles.
Motor vs. hand crank
Hand cranks are simple and reliable. Motors save effort on large batches but add cost and a part that can fail.
Attachment vs. standalone
Mixer attachments save space if you own the mixer. Standalone machines suit cooks without one.
Frequently asked questions
Is fresh pasta worth the effort?
For filled pasta and delicate noodles, yes. For everyday spaghetti, dried pasta is excellent and far faster.
What flour should I use?
00 flour or semolina blends give the best texture. All-purpose works but is less silky.
How do I dry fresh pasta?
Briefly on a rack or floured tray. Fully dried pasta keeps longer but cooks differently from fresh.
