MARCATO SpaghettiAttachment,

the Atlas machine comes with a "thin" spaghetti maker (taglioni) but it's almost Angel Hair. This is thicker and more "normal". Although I gotta add that homemade, however homemade, is softer al dente than the store bought stuff. And you have to adjust to that. The machine is unbeatable (I avoid the motor addition because, hey! you gotta do somethin' if you're gonna take some credit for the outcome) and the pasta is superb using their recipes, or a simple division of the volumes for smaller amounts. Now, all would be well if my spouse wasn't going 'low carb' these days.

Made some squid ink spaghetti and it came out amazingly well, with rounded pasta just like how it should be. The trick is to run the pasta sheet to thickness setting of 3 and no further. Otherwise the sheet becomes too thin and the pasta will no longer be rounded. The only complain I have is that it takes some wiggling to slide the attachment in the slot. My original attachment that came with the machine has no fit issues so it’s definitely an issue with the new attachment. Since it works fine (and Amazon already replaced an rusted unit during the first shipment) I’ve decided to keep it. Hopefully by using it overtime it’ll become easier to get it on and off.

I love trying out new kitchen tools, and when I realized I already had a MARCATO pasta roller at home, I thought, "Why not get the spaghetti attachment too?" Best decision ever! It turned my pasta dough into amazing spaghetti noodles that looked and tasted like they came from a fancy Italian restaurant.If you're thinking about making spaghetti with this attachment, here are some tips to help you out:1. **Flour is Your Friend**: Before you start, sprinkle some flour on your pasta dough. This keeps the noodles from sticking together when they come out.2. **Get Your Counter Ready**: Put some flour on the counter too. This way, when your spaghetti comes out, you can lay them down without them sticking to the surface.3. **Not Too Thin**: I never roll my dough thinner than setting #3 on the pasta roller. If it's too thin, you won't get spaghetti. You want it just right so it turns into perfect noodles.I had so much fun making spaghetti with this attachment. It's cool to see your dough turn into real spaghetti noodles right in front of your eyes!Would I recommend it? Yes! It's a fun way to make homemade pasta, especially if you like cooking and trying new things. Just remember these tips, and you'll make some awesome spaghetti!

I've had the Marcato Atlas 150 machine with angel hair/fettuccine attachment for over 20 years. Still works very well. We wondered if we could get thick, meaty spaghetti with this attachment and . . . the answer is yes. I followed the advice of another Amazon reviewer and roll the sheets out only to setting "3" which causes the noodle to "squeeze" a bit through the spaghetti attachment. End result: fat, tasty spaghetti better than you can buy in any grocery store. Just the ticket for home made spaghetti

The media could not be loaded. This is a hard review to make because I enjoy using this and making pasta since I bought it, but it was all the work I had to do to make it work that disappoints me and makes me give it a 1 star. All the work that I feel was unnecessary.I bought this because I’ve wanted to make homemade pasta again ever since I first made it back in middle school. It tasted so much better than anything from the store and it was something I was proud of. I bought this to make pasta from scratch again. I bought the atlas 150 and an electric motor to go with it, because I feel like trying to hand crank it while feeding the dough in would be complicated. Need to feed the dough in, catch and pull it as it’s coming out, while at the same time hand cranking it. Is it doable? Yes. But felt like it would be too much aggravation, so I bought the electric motor too. I looked at the prices of the bundles and the stand alone items Marcato offers and seen it was cheaper to buy everything separately. I did my research, made sure everything would work with what I was buying. Thought I had it all down, but obviously not. That’s on me, but at the same time Marcato’s description and photos of the products aren’t very good in my opinion. Anyway, here’s why.So for the atlas 150 pasta roller itself, the hand crank fits, the electric motor doesn’t. It has the cut outs for the electric motor, but the shaft of the motor is too big to fit in the pasta roller. But the attachments that came with the 150… the motor fits in those. So the attachments it came with, the motor fits, the roller itself, it does not fit… why? It fits the other stuff it came bundled with but not the roller itself? I went back to the electric motor description, seen it fits various models of the atlas 150. Did I buy the wrong one? It’s subjective, but I don’t think I did. I went back to the bundle page, read the description, it does not list the model of atlas 150 it is. So what model am I getting? How am I supposed to know the electric motor will or won’t fit? This wasn’t something I thought I had to worry about. The motor says it’s for the atlas 150 in the title, the atlas 150 page itself doesn’t even list a model number, just says it’s an atlas 150.Whatever… I ordered a stand alone pasta roller atlas 150 to hopefully get lucky and maybe it’ll be the model I need. I could have returned the other, but in the end I feel like it was my mistake for not being thorough enough in my research. So I ordered another hoping it’s the right one, in the meantime I did some extra work to make the motor fit. I drilled out a bigger hole with a drill bit roughly the same diameter as the shaft on the motor. It works now, but I feel like I shouldn’t have had to do extra work to make something I feel like should have worked in the beginning. The hand crank did fit btw, but again I wanted more free hands to work with the dough as I’m rolling it, so I felt the motor would be better to just make it work.The other atlas 150 came in, I was unlucky again. Same problem as the first one.So now that my motor fits on the roller, let’s make some pasta. I made spaghetti for a few nights. My ravioli attachment just came in today. I go to use some leftover dough to make some ravioli, let’s fit the motor into the… are you kidding me? The ravioli attachment does not have holes to lock the motor in place. The shaft fits, but it won’t lock into place. Tf? Aright fine whatever, I wanted to use the hand crank for this anyway so I have more control. I’ll just use the hand crank and…. Wtf, the hand crank won’t work either, the shaft is too long so the fins won’t go into the attachment to spin the ravioli rollers… FINE. I guess I’ll just hold the motor in place cause dammit I want ravioli.So I make the ravioli, the attachment does a good job. But now I have some more work for myself cause I need to drill some holes into that thing now for the motor to attach properly. I go to the ravioli attachment page, there aren’t any pics showing the side where the crank is supposed to go, so it doesn’t show the lack of holes for the motor. That really my fault? I don’t think so. Feels deceptive to me personally.Am I able to make pasta? Yes. Am I able to use the electric motor I bought for this purpose? Yes, kind of, and no. Yeah, the motor attaches to the spaghetti attachment with no issue, it didn’t work with the atlas 150 at first without me having to drill out the hole bigger. Neither of my items work with the ravioli attachment out of the box. No holes for motor, and shaft for hand crank too long. So to make my items work, I have to drill out holes, drill out more holes on the ravioli attachment, and cut some of the shaft handle off to shorten it so the fins will go inside the machine and turn it properly. I should not have to modify these things this much. These should work right out of the box, the atlas 150 should have exactly which model it is somewhere on the product page, it doesn’t. For all this extra work, I have to give it a 1 star. I’m using the machine, yea, but only because I modified it to actually work. Now I have to modify the ravioli attachment to work. Disappointing

Works as advertised, well made. I dinged it one star since, unlike the linguine attachment, this one came with four loose parts - two partially threaded rods and two plastic whatchamacallits.If it happens to anyone else (or is the new standard) one would be well advised to dig out the good #1 phillips head bit. The screw holding it together was a bit stubborn and made a hash of one of those gummy cheap bits. One good thing about cheap bits is that, at least in this case, they act as a fuse and sacrifice themselves before ruining the screw which is apparently made out of mithril or somesuch.

Muy buen producto, supero mis expectativas
