Do it. I wanted to make homemade pasta (particularly Ravioli) but didn't have the Pasta attachment yet so learned to make bread instead. 10 minutes, 2 Proofs (dough "rising"), 15 seconds of kneading and you've got homemade bread. Kitchen aid mixer with Robin Hood best for bread flours (the multigrain is awesome). Piece of cake.
Just got the pasta roller with Fettucine and Spaghetti cutter last week. It might possibly be the coolest thing ever. Now I just need the pour spout cover thingy and then, maybe, the grinder...but that would mostly just be for making extruded pasta (macaroni, various round noodles). I'm not sure I can justify the price of the grinder attachment and the pasta plates for it just to make a couple different noodles. The pasta roller, however, is absolutely fantastic.
I should mention that I also have a big Cuisinart Food Processor so some of the other attachments have limited appeal to me.
