POM Pappardelle die for KitchenAid

Pappardelle (ribbon noodles a la “wedding noodles”) – isn’t that a pretty name?
I suspect the name comes from the Italian verb “pappare” – colloquially it means something like “to feed”. Makes some sense too. I can never get enough of pappardelle and I devour it.

Pappardelle are ultimately nothing more than tagliatelle, with the only difference being that they are much wider. While tagliatelle are usually between 6 and 8 mm wide, if they are a little over 1 cm wide they can be called pappardelle. Originally, these noodles were always prepared with eggs. But as always: Whatever you like and taste good is allowed.

POM is the abbreviation for polyoxymethylene, a guaranteed food-safe plastic. This is exactly the same material that is used in the Philips pasta maker matrices.

POM has the advantage that it doesn't weigh much and you can put the matrices in the dishwasher for cleaning.
Please note that the matrices are manufactured using micro milling. This is a complex process that enables delicate shapes. But small scratches from production and minor chips may be present, these are inevitable when using POM.
It is always advisable to add a little more liquid than your pasta machine indicates and to only use cold liquids. The dough should be moist and crumbly. You can find a standard recipe for our matrices here.

What else should you know?

It happens again and again that there are people who switch from the tube pasta attachment to the Philips Pastamaker Avance. In this case we have good news. You can continue to use this matrix and the other KA matrices in this section. All you need is a one-time adapter here .

Please note that this shape differs slightly from the diameter of the KitchenAid dies. This small change makes them more versatile.
