The ATLAS 150 ROSSA + PASTA-WHEEL ROSSO from Marcato is a high-quality, Italian-made pasta set designed for passionate home cooks who value precision, durability, and design. The set combines the iconic Atlas 150 manual pasta machine in an elegant red finish with a matching red pasta wheel, allowing you to create a wide variety of fresh pasta shapes with professional results.
The Atlas 150 is made primarily from chrome-plated and anodized aluminum, designed specifically for food contact and to ensure long-lasting performance. The machine offers a rolling width of up to approximately 150 mm, ideal for lasagne sheets and as a base for other pasta formats. Its adjustable thickness setting (multiple incremental steps, from very thin to thicker sheets) lets you roll dough precisely to your desired thickness for tagliatelle, fettuccine, lasagne, and filled pasta. The smooth steel rollers are engineered for an even, consistent sheet of dough, reducing tearing and ensuring optimal texture when cooked.
The included red pasta wheel (PASTA-WHEEL ROSSO) complements the machine by giving you a versatile hand tool for cutting and decorating fresh pasta and pastry. With its ergonomic handle and high-quality rotating wheel, it is suitable for straight or decorative cuts, perfect for ravioli borders, pappardelle strips, or decorative pastry edges. The coordinated red finish makes the set visually distinctive and attractive on any kitchen counter.
In terms of application, this set is ideal for preparing fresh egg pasta, flavored or colored doughs (such as spinach or beetroot pasta), and thin sheets for lasagne, cannelloni, or stuffed pasta. The manual crank operation gives the user full control over speed and pressure, allowing beginners and experienced cooks alike to achieve repeatable results. Combined with the pasta wheel, you can easily customize the size and shape of your pasta to suit different recipes and regional styles.
The benefits of this product lie in its robust construction, precise mechanical operation, and ease of use. The Atlas 150 is designed for stable placement on the work surface, typically supported by a countertop clamp, so rolling dough remains safe and controlled. The surfaces and rollers are engineered for easy cleaning (usually by brushing and wiping, without immersing the machine in water), supporting good hygiene and a long service life. The mechanical design avoids the need for electricity, making it both versatile and independent of power outlets.
