Ankarsrum Pasta Attachments

Do I need to buy the pasta roller lasagna first or are all the pasta attachments  also rollers?

  • Hi Sherri,

    the lasagna roller is not a requirement, but you would need to roll the pasta manually before processing it in the fettuccine/lasagnette/spaghetti rollers.

  • Thank you for the information. I want all the attachments. Just trying to figure out what order to put them in on my wish list. The pasta roller lasagna will be first!

  • Hi Sherri,

    the lasagna roller would be my recommendation as well!

  • Hi,
    I’m having a question regarding Ankarsrum Pasta Cutter/Roller Attachments, does the roller and cutter are two separate things when it comes to purchase or how does it work? Do I need to order both roller and spagetti cutter or each of the cutter attachments can be the roller of itself
    I’m couldn’t figure it out myself since I’m very new to this subject. Please help.
    Thank you and looking forward to hear from you.

  • Hello Nua,

    the lasagna roller flattens pasta dough into thin sheets, the other rollers are for shaping the sheets into the desired shape. It's possible to roll the dough by hand, but usually I always recommend going for the lasagna roller first as that's where you'll save the most tedious work of the process.

  • Now I understand it and I’m agree with you. Thank you so much for your reply.

  • I have both the lasagna and the fettuccini rollers. The lasagna roller makes great dough but the fettuccini roller just took the dough and rolled it around inside the roller instead of cutting strands. There are two metal posts on the underside and a plastic piece - are they for shipping or part of the rollers.  I would love to see a schematic as I can not get the rollers to cut pasta. I had to cut the lasagna sheets by hand! This is the second fettuccini cutter and it has the same problem. This never happened with my manual machine.

  • Hi Barbara,

    have you rolled the dough into the correct thickness before using the fettuccine roller? You should aim for size 5 or 6 in the lasagna roller before cutting fettuccine.

    Also, be sure to sprinkle the dough with some flour to avoid sticking. The plastic parts are supposed to scrape the rollers. If possible, film the roller in action and send it to us for further investigation.

  • Thank you for your quick response. I will film tomorrow as I try again, but I will need to clean the pasta out and insert the pieces that fell out. I had a wonderful sheet of dough ready to go in the rollers. The fettuccini roller has two metal posts covering the plastic teeth on the underside.  The metal posts fall out and then the plastic teeth fall out. Is there a schematic regarding what the rollers should look like on the underside so that I can ensure that everything is as it should be? There were no instructions with the rollers, and no diagrams regarding these loose metal pieces.  I thought they might be packing material to safeguard the cutters.

    I really want to get this to work as the Ankarsum is such an amazing machine.

  • Hi again Barbara,

    the metal rods are supposed to hold the plastic scrapers in place, please reference the photo below. In the image, one side of the rod to the right is slotted into the hole of one side and it sits in the plastic scraper.

    The scraper has a groove where the rod should sit. Now, you want to slide the rod into the other hole, locking the plastic scraper in place. To do so, press the rod down towards the roller and slide it in all the way so that the beveled knob at the end of the rod is inside of the hole in the casing. It will now look like the rod to the left in the image.

    It's a bit of a finicky operation to get this right, but push down on the ridged part of the rod to get a good grip and don't be afraid to use a bit of force.

    This should help keeping the scrapers in place.
