We use the Marcato Atlas 150 Pasta Machine here at the Sourdough School to make our diversity sourdough pasta recipes for the Sourdough Club. When it comes to slicing pasta sheets into individual noodles, the Atlas 150 comes with a two-in-one cutter.

The 13 interchangeable accessories of Atlas 150 are distinguished by the thickness, cut and shape of the pasta.

The thickness of the pasta dough can be adjusted in 10 steps using a controller that varies between 0. Marcato was the first to make pasta makers, and they remain at the forefront because they embrace technology to adapt their products for modern use—without ever sacrificing quality. Italians have a well-earned reputation for their twin loves of family and cookery, and the authentic, all-Italian Marcato Atlas 150 Pasta Machine is a brilliant piece of kit that is sure to please anyone who loves to cook in the Mediterranean way, with fresh ingredients and a passion for food. Furthermore, the add-on is made from high-quality stainless steel, is easy to use, and is backed by a 2-year guarantee. If enough clay collects, it can even push the blades away from the rollers, allowing your clay sheet to go round and round on the rollers.

We also tested a version of the Atlas 150 with an attached motor and found that getting rid of the hand crank isn't worth the extra money. If you like the way the machine works, but want to have removable blades, I recommend sending the machine to Mona Kissel for modification. An extruder is the only way to make tubes and spirals like penne and fusili—no tabletop cutter, Atlas 150 or otherwise, can do that—but it's also quite a bit more expensive. It is equipped with a handle with easy grip for easier operation and a regulator with 10 clearly visible positions, so you can quickly choose the sheet thickness.If you and those who receive your gifts are not entirely delighted with any of our products we replace them or offer a full refund. A solid chrome steel machine with anodised aluminium alloy rollers: the ideal machine to prepare bakery products! Nothing cheap here, that’s for sure, but this is perfect for special treats, and there’s IKEA for the rest!
