Works great! Easy to use, love it!â¤ï¸

Such a fan doing it! Perfect

I actually have quite an extensive set of the Marcato Atlas 150 and enjoy using it quite often. I mix my pasta dough with my KitchenAid mixer and then proceed to make some fantastic pasta. The MilleGnocchi is an attachment for the Imperia machine, which I do not have, so after a little modifications, I have adapted it to fit into the Marcato Atlas machine and it works out great!

I have used both hand and electic cavatelli makers in the past so I am familiar with how they operate, and the MilleGnocchi is not very different from them, only better!! After using my KitchenAid sausage stuffer to extrude the pasta dough into a nicely formed 1/2" wide and perfectly fromed "string" I then proceeded to try all three settings of the MilleGnocchi.

First, keeping the width of the pasta to (around) 1/2" will ensure that the noodles formed will be the right size and not have any crossover makings from the other settings.

Second, feeding the pasta is very easy, but before I did that I springled some regular all-purpose flour into the MilleGnocchi in order to prevent the dough from sticking and jamming. I tried all three settings and the MilleGnocchi produced perfect formed Rigatelli, Gnocchi Sardi and Cavatelli.

Third, although it is not a "negative" comment, one limitation of the MilleGnocchi over the other hand or electric units is the limitation on the size, due to the multi-setting of the three different types of shaped pasta that this unit can make. HOWEVER, that being said, I am far more pleased with this MilleGnocchi that I am with just the Cavatelli makers as it is much more versitle and even fun to use.

The unit itself operated without any mechanical problems, and my modifications were only made to the bracket ends that attach to the roller unit. I wish that Marcato made a similar unit, but I am happy with this as it is.

We went to Italy in 2018. While we were there, we signed up for a pasta making class in someone's home via AirBnB. The woman had three of these for us to use. The class was given by her and her mother, who were both native Italians. As we worked, she showed us hers maker, that had been handed down to her from her grandmother! If that doesn't say long lasting quality, I don't know what does.
As soon as we got back to the states, we ordered one for ourselves. It was a great investment! The maker is VERY easy to use, easy to set up and isn't too difficult to clean. We have used it multiple times, including with our 12 yr old daughter and her friends during a sleepover, with no difficulties at all.
Highly recommended if you are looking to make your own pasta!

Works great. However, the only problem I've had is that the knob to adjust the width of the noodle is hard to tun without using a jar opener.
I also had a problem attaching it. It didn't work on my kitchen counter. It needed to be deeper. I used my table, which worked pretty good except it is round and I had to crank it and keep track of the pasta. Some ended on the floor. I couldn't get it tightened on the table. Will have to see about finding something else to attach it to next time.
I also had a problem with the instruction booklet. It was in several languages. I found the English page, but the diagram of the machine identifying all its parts was at the beginning in, I'm assuming, Italian. It would have been nice to have it on each language page. You basically have to work with it a little to figure out the right settings for the width of the pasta. Other than these problems it works well.
I made whole wheat spaghetti and it was delicious.
