MARCATO Atlas 150 hand-crank pasta machine — Red anodized, adjustable thickness + cutter

The MARCATO Atlas 150 is a hand-crank, made-in-Italy pasta machine that rolls and cuts fresh pasta sheets and noodles with adjustable thickness settings and an included cutter.

Designed and manufactured in Italy, the MARCATO Atlas 150 combines durable anodized aluminum construction with a classic hand-crank design to produce consistent pasta dough sheets and cut them into fettuccine or tagliolini. Its oxidation-colored finish in red gives the machine a lasting aesthetic while remaining easy to care for — simply brush or wipe dry after use. The Atlas 150 is compact enough for home countertops yet built to deliver professional-level results for homemade pasta projects.

How does the Atlas 150 shape and cut pasta dough?

The Atlas 150 uses a rolling mechanism with adjustable thickness settings to flatten dough into uniform sheets, plus a detachable cutter that slices those sheets into even ribbons. Turn the hand crank steadily and feed dough strips through the rollers, then switch to the cutter attachment for fettuccine or thinner tagliolini.

• Multiple thickness settings for precise sheet control
• Detachable cutter for two noodle widths
• Hand-crank operation gives tactile control without power
• Stainless fittings and smooth rollers for consistent results

Is the MARCATO Atlas 150 easy to clean and maintain?

Yes — the machine’s anodized aluminum frame resists corrosion and the surface is finished to prevent food adhesion, so cleaning is straightforward. MARCATO advises against soaking or using detergents; instead use a dry brush or cloth to remove flour and dough residues.

• Wipe with a dry cloth to preserve finish
• Use a small brush to clear flour from rollers and cutter
• Do not immerse in water or place in a dishwasher
• Occasional lubrication of gears as recommended in the manual

What accessories and settings come with the machine?

The Atlas 150 package typically includes a hand crank, clamp to secure the unit to a countertop, a removable cutter, and simple instructions to get started. Its control dial offers a range of thickness settings so you can produce everything from pasta sheets for lasagna to thin noodles for lighter sauces.

• Included hand crank and clamp for stable use
• Removable cutter for fettuccine and tagliolini widths
• Instruction leaflet for setup and usage tips
• Compact footprint for easy storage

Who is this for? Home cooks who enjoy hands-on pasta making, small kitchens needing a space-efficient tool, and anyone who values Italian-made craftsmanship will appreciate the MARCATO Atlas 150. It suits beginners learning dough handling as well as experienced cooks seeking repeatable sheet thickness and clean cuts without electrical power. If you want a long-lasting, attractive countertop appliance that produces consistent fresh pasta, the Atlas 150 is designed for that role.
