Product Description
Making fresh pasta is a lot of fun and totally worth the effort—that is, of course, if you have the Marcato Atlas 150 pasta machine. Designed to take out the legwork involved in making pasta by hand (like rolling, kneading, and shaping), the Atlas 150 helps you achieve uniform thickness in a wide range of shapes Read More
There are times when life gets too hard. PTL for Kroger's. I'll go get some of theirs when I need it. I doubt that I could tell the difference in a blind taste test.
Old school and awesome gear.
picture an Italian grandmother in your mind, wearing an apron and holding a large wooden spoon, carried in the manner that one might carry a billy club. Advancing toward you menacingly, like she caught you sneaking cookies.
Notice how big her forearm muscles are?
These machines are one of the reasons Italian grandmas have legendary bludgeoning skill with wooden kitchen implements. Manual pasta presses build your forearms UP, no lie. Tires you out. You will switch arms.
Is this good? I think so. In the post rational lives we lead, you take your exercise wherever you can find it. And homemade pasta is awesome. It takes a while to get good at mixing the dough properly but these machines make fast work out of rolling the dough out evenly.
Now get out of the kitchen before Nana gets you with that spoon. Trust me. It stings.
I have one that I bought a few years back and it is just like new. I love it! Just make sure you do not get it wet. (Always clean it with a dry brush and cloth after use). The basic pasta machine can make flat sheets of pasta (which you can then use for lasagna, ravioli, etc) or you can then run the sheets of pasta through the cutting atachment (included) for making tagliatelle or capellini. Always run the dough through the rollers using the higher numbers (thicker pasta) and then reducing the number by one and rolling again, and repeating until you get to about one or zero (very this pasta similar to the thickness you get in fine restaurants . I do not have any of the other optional attachments. The easiest and best recipe I have found for the basic dough is below and you absolutely need double zero italian white flower! After you prepare the pasta always make sure you lighty dust it with flower (so it won’t stick onto itself) and cover with a cloth so the pasta does not dry. Boil in salted water for about 2 or 3 minutes. Add you favorite sauce.

Enjoy it.
Can someone confirm if the base model here is able to make lasagna? The drop says it can make fettucine, lasagna, and tagliolini, so I was expecting either a lasagna attachment or a separate lasagna roller/cutter. Mine didn't come with anything like that.
What is the benefit to getting the black one? I have a 30 year old Mercato machine now. It is hard to move the thickness knob because you have to pull it out and twist. My hand have arthritis so I wondered if this would be easier.
Also would the attachments fit fit my old machine if I just got an attachment?
This is confusing....what exactly comes with the machine? As you click on what normally additions, the cost reduces instead of increasing...if you get three attachments and want the drying rack, I clicked on the drying rack and it reduced the price on the total......I'm having a brain freeze, I guess. can someone explain this?
LadyDiThe machine comes with attachments to make fettucine, lasagna, and tagliolini. The "reduced" prices are for the individual accessories only without the actual machine. Choose "Add another order" for each accessory you want.
tyler256An update on this order would be nice. Did they run out of stock or something? Do you expect this order to actually be fulfilled? If so, do you have a rough estimate as to when? Generally I feel like a 2+ week delay merits a little more explanation than "There is an unexpected delay."
