List of products by brand Marcato

Pasta is the speciality of Marcato, a traditional Italian company. Even though the products are now sold all over the world, they only produce in Italy and only with sustainable processes and raw materials. With ingeniously constructed yet traditional tools and machines, they ensure that a wide variety of pasta varieties are successful. In addition, the shop also offers other equipment, for example for guetzli, bread, pizza and cereals in general.

In 1930, Ortello Marcato assembled his first pasta machines, at that time in a small workshop behind the house. Sales were also a little more elaborate at that time. So Marcato loaded his pasta machines onto his bicycle and delivered them directly to his customers' homes - mostly neighbours, relatives, friends or people from the village.

The machines seemed to have proved their worth, because in 1938 Ortello opened his first small factory, where he could produce his machines faster and in larger quantities. He expanded his range and continued to tinker with the machines, resulting in the Atlas. This pasta machine is still the pride of the company today, in the meantime it has of course been expanded, further developed and equipped with accessories.

The first factory in Padua was joined by a second production facility and the business is now also represented on the Internet. In the shop you can find everything your pasta heart desires. In addition to various pasta machines, you will also find other tools for processing, pasta dryers and utensils for grinding grain or shaping Guetzli on their website.

You're sure to get what you're looking for from us. We offer the Atlas pasta machine in different versions and with accessories. If you like it simple, the Atlas 180 is the right choice. With a simple hand crank, you roll the dough into a thin sheet, which is then cut into noodles with one of the three attachments. For a particularly comfortable work, there is the narrower version with a small motor, so you don't have to crank and can fully concentrate on your dough. If a wide variety is important to you, the Atlas is perfect with different attachments. You can cut not only wide and narrow pasta and lasagne sheets, but also spaghetti and ravioli. These are even cut automatically.

Of course, you can also make ravioli differently. For example, use a ravioli stamp or a ravioli mould.

If you want special pasta, you can cut the dough sheet with a pasta wheel. The finished pasta can easily be dried in a pasta dryer, so it will keep for a good month.

Of course, making your own pasta is extremely fun and worthwhile for that reason alone, but there are also other advantages. If you create your own pasta, you can also determine the ingredients and the shape individually. The basic dough can be refined with different ingredients, for example green spinach pasta, red tomato spaghetti, delicious wild garlic ravioli or pink beetroot lasagne sheets. Making them is not difficult at all!

Delicious homemade pasta

250 g wheat flour

250 g durum wheat semolina

20 - 40 g vegetable powder of your choice

5 eggs

A little water

Mix the flours and powder together and add the beaten eggs. The eggs can also be replaced with water, but this will make the pasta a little more crumbly and the taste will be slightly different. Knead the mixture by hand to a smooth dough that does not stick to your fingers. If it is still a little crumbly, just add a little water. Run the dough through the pasta machine twice on speed 0, folding the sheet once in between the first time. Then, after each pass, increase the speed by one until you reach 6 or 7. This way, the dough sheet can be further processed into pasta, for ravioli roll out the dough as thinly as possible.

Now run the dough through one of the cutting rollers or place it on a clean work surface. This way you can cut the pasta to the right size with a pasta wheel. For tasty ravioli, you can spread small dabs of filling on the dough, then brush some water around it and place a second sheet of dough on top. Press this down a little and then use a ravioli stamp to cut out individual stars, circles, squares, hearts or flowers.

For more speedy work, you can also place the dough on a ravioli mould, fill the cavities and brush the edges with water. Then place a second sheet of dough on top, press down well on the edges and roll over with the rolling pin.

It's so easy to make all kinds, colours and shapes of pasta with the products from Marcato!
