Marcato Atlas Electric Italian Pasta If it's popular in Italy, it must make good pasta. The Atlas motorized pasta machine, manufactured in Italy but popular in fine kitchens everywhere, brings the luxury of homemade pasta to your dinner table with a minimum of fuss.

Equipped with cutting heads for fettucine and vermicelli, the Atlas can be expanded with a wide array of accessories allowing a range of fifteen grades of pasta from lasagna ribbons to angel hair threads. Follow the pasta recipes the company provides, and clean up will be a simple matter of wiping down the rollers. Mix a sticky batch of dough and you'll learn this machine inside and out, instead. A twelve page illustrated manual will help you avoid any pitfalls, of which there are very few.

The machine fastens securely to nearly any table top with a C-clamp. Don't over-tighten the clamp or it may twist under the pressure (replacement clamps are available). All parts except the clamp handle are nickel or chrome plated steel. Both the hundred watt motor and the main unit are guaranteed for three years and can be expected to last well beyond, when properly maintained.

With the Atlas it really is possible to make pasta from scratch quickly, just like you see it on TV.
