Pasta machines & attachments
There are 5 products.
With a pasta machine, fresh pasta turns out just like in Italy, from wafer-thin lasagne sheets to tagliatelle. In this category you will find Marcato pasta machines: the Atlas 150 with attachments, which comes with four cutting rollers and ravioli rollers, the Atlas 180 for wider sheets of dough, and the Atlas 150 with motor and 10 settings, which does the cranking for you. All three models clamp to the worktop and roll the dough in 10 thickness settings. If you love spaghetti alla chitarra, choose the large or small pasta chitarra, whose taut strings cut the dough into square noodles.
Tips for the pasta machine
- Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling so it becomes supple and does not tear.
- Start at setting 0, fold the sheet several times, then narrow the rollers step by step.
- Clean the rollers only dry with a brush or cloth, never with water; on the motorised model, keep the motor switched off.
From dough to plate
Fresh pasta cooks in 2 to 4 minutes depending on thickness, dried pasta in 4 to 6 minutes. If you make pasta in advance, hang it up to dry and then pack it well.
Frequently asked questions about pasta machines
When is the Atlas 150 with motor worth it?
When you often make larger quantities: the motor does the cranking and you have both hands free to guide the dough.
What pasta does the chitarra make?
Typically spaghetti with a square cross-section made from durum wheat. You can also cut taglierini or tagliatelle from egg dough on it.
