# Genuine Kenwood Pasta Fresca Shaper & Extruder Attachment (KAX92.A0ME)

Bring the uncompromising authenticity of a traditional Italian trattoria into your home kitchen with the **Genuine Kenwood Pasta Fresca Shaper Attachment**. Registered under official factory part number **KAX92.A0ME** (Barcode: **5011423203638**), this heavy-duty, commercial-grade extruder connects directly to your stand mixer's front drive to process large batches of fresh, uniform pasta effortlessly.

The defining secret behind the Pasta Fresca is its premium **bronze mold insert system**. Unlike smooth plastic replicas that produce slick, slippery noodles, the included solid bronze **Maccheroni Rigati** (ridged macaroni) die leaves a subtly coarse, micro-textured finish on the dough's exterior. This porous surface texture acts like a magnet for culinary sauces, locking in pestos, ragùs, and emulsions for a superior mouthfeel and maximized flavor retention.

### What’s Included in the Retail Box:
*   **1 x Heavy-Duty Die-Cast Metal Extruder Body:** Houses the high-torque feed screw and supports heavy extrusion pressures without bowing.

*   **1 x Solid Bronze Maccheroni Rigati Die:** The premium traditional brass-alloy disc required to output perfectly ridged, tube-style pasta shapes.

*   **1 x Dual-Function Spanner / Pusher Tool:** Tailored to safely guide dough down the chute and easily unfasten the locking ring nut during cleaning.
