At a glance
The Kenwood Trenette Pasta Cutter Attachment is a dedicated pasta accessory for home cooks who want neat trenette noodles using a compatible Kenwood Chef or Chef XL mixer. Its stainless steel build and compact size make it practical for regular homemade pasta sessions. A key limitation is that it only cuts already-rolled dough, so a separate roller attachment may be needed.

Things to consider
This attachment is purpose-built for trenette and requires pasta dough to be rolled into sheets first, so it is less versatile than broader pasta-making kits or specialist systems with multiple cutter options included.
Compatibility with major brands
Designed for Kenwood Chef and Chef XL models that accept bowl tool attachments; not a cross-brand universal accessory.
Ease of cleaning score
7/10 - stainless steel surfaces help with cleanup, but pasta cutter attachments typically need careful cleaning around rollers and cutting sections.
Durability vs category average
8/10 - stainless steel construction gives it a solid, durable feel compared with many lighter accessory housings.
Multi-use versatility
Specialised single-purpose attachment for cutting trenette pasta from pre-rolled dough sheets.
Installation convenience
8/10 - straightforward for owners of compatible Kenwood Chef and Chef XL mixers, but compatibility is limited to specific attachment-ready models.
Key benefits
- 3.5 mm TRENette CUT: Produces consistent trenette strands sized for lighter sauces, pesto, and seafood pasta dishes.
- Stainless steel construction: Built for durability and repeated contact with pasta dough during regular home use.
- Bowl tool attachment format: Connects to compatible Kenwood Chef and Chef XL mixers for integrated pasta preparation.
- Dedicated pasta cutting function: Accurately cuts rolled pasta sheets into trenette for a more uniform homemade result.
- Compact storage size: Fits more easily into kitchen cupboards and shelves when not in use.
- Silver finish: Matches the look of many stand mixer setups for a cohesive kitchen accessory appearance.
Q: Which Kenwood mixers fit this trenette pasta cutter attachment?
A: It is designed for Kenwood Chef and Chef XL stand mixers that accept bowl tool attachments. It is not a universal pasta cutter, so check your mixer's attachment system before buying if you own a different Kenwood model.
Q: Do I need a separate roller before using this trenette cutter?
A: Yes. Kenwood KAX983ME cuts pasta that has already been rolled into sheets, so it does not replace a pasta roller. For a full pasta-making setup, use a lasagne roller attachment first, then feed the sheet into the cutter.
Q: What pasta width does the Kenwood KAX983ME actually cut?
A: Kenwood KAX983ME cuts trenette at 3.5mm width. That gives narrow, even ribbons suited to lighter sauces such as pesto or seafood, but it does not make wider cuts like fettuccine or flat sheets for lasagne.
Q: Can this attachment mix dough or only cut prepared sheets?
A: No. This attachment is a cutter only, so it does not mix dough or flatten it into sheets. It suits buyers who already make pasta dough with their mixer and want a dedicated attachment for cutting trenette.
Q: Is the trenette attachment bulky to store in a small kitchen?
A: No. The storage box measures 161mm high, 257mm wide and 78mm deep, so it is relatively compact for a metal mixer attachment. It still needs cupboard or drawer space and is not designed to stay permanently fitted.
