There are pasta machines, and then there's Atlas. Marcato's classic has stood on worktops all over Italy for generations, and it's still the machine most people picture when they hear the words pasta machine. Atlas Plus is the latest version, and it has gained something many have been missing: spaghetti straight from the machine.
The double cutting attachment is built in and makes four kinds of pasta without changing anything. Lasagne sheets from the rollers, then 6 mm fettuccine, 1.5 mm tagliolini and 2 mm round spaghetti from the cutter. The dial on the side sets the thickness in ten steps, from 4.8 mm for working the dough to 0.5 mm for a sheet so thin you can see the light through it. The rollers are 150 mm wide and made of anodised aluminium, and the body is chrome-plated steel.
When you want to widen your repertoire, there are ten extra attachments to buy, including capellini, linguine, pappardelle, bigoli and ravioli. The machine is cranked by hand, but with a bayonet fitting you can attach Marcato's Pastadrive motor, sold separately, and have both hands free.
Available in chrome, black, red, green, blue and copper. Includes crank, table clamp and instructions, and the coloured versions also come with a storage bag in recycled cotton. Dimensions 20.7 x 20 x 15.5 cm, weight 2.25 kg. Made in Italy.
