Homemade Pasta - 101 Cookbooks
Everything I know about making homemade pasta. Four ingredients! If you have flour, two eggs, a splash of olive oil, and a bit of salt, you can do it right now.
Marcato Atlas 150
Let’s start with equipment. I have opinions related to some of the pasta equipment out there and have purchased and used quite a range over the years. My takeaway? In the end, you don’t need much. Certainly not to get started. Start by making your pasta by hand first, and if you’re into it, buy an <anchor>Marcato Atlas 150</anchor> hand-crank pasta maker. I’ve had mine for nearly twenty years, and with a little TLC it should last a lifetime. I make my pasta dough by hand, roll it out with the Atlas.

### Functionality

The easy-to-grip crank makes it easier to knead, and the adjustment knob with 10 clear positions ensures immediate pasta thickness selection.

PREPARING FRESH HOME-MADE PASTA:

### Pasta dough

INGREDIENTS:

- 250g soft-wheat “00” flour
- 250g durum wheat flour (semolina)
- 5 whole eggs and water up to a total of 250g

Pour the flour into a bowl, then the eggs and water in the middle.

Beat the eggs and water with a fork and mix thoroughly with the flour. Do not add salt!

Knead the dough with your hands until it is completely smooth and consistent. If the dough is too dry, add some water; if it is too sticky, add some flour. Perfect dough should never stick to your fingers.

Remove the dough from the bowl and place it on a table, lightly dusted with flour.

If necessary, continue kneading the dough by hand and break it up into little pieces.



PREPARING FRESH HOME-MADE PASTA:

### How to prepare pasta sheets with Atlas 150

Set the adjustment knob of the machine to number 0, so that the two smooth rollers are fully open. Feed a ball of dough through the rollers and turn the crank clockwise.

Lightly dust both sides of the pasta sheet with flour and fold it in half. Feed the pasta sheet through the smooth rollers again, for 5-6 times until the pasta sheet is long and regular in shape.

Cut the pasta sheet in two and dust each piece lightly with flour on both sides.

Set the adjustment knob to 1 and pass the pasta sheet through just once; then, set the adjustment knob to 2 and pass the pasta sheet through once more; then, set the adjustment knob to 3, and so on until you reach the desired thickness (the recommended thickness setting is no. 6 for fettuccine and no. 7 for tagliolini).

Cut the pasta sheet crosswise into pieces about 25cm long and dust them lightly with flour again.



PREPARING FRESH HOME-MADE PASTA:

### How to cut fettuccine or tagliolini

Insert the crank into one of the holes in the cutting rollers and, as you turn it, feed in the pasta sheet to obtain the intended type of pasta. Pick up the pasta with the special stick and transfer it to the Tacapasta.

The pasta dries in about 5-6 hours, depending on the temperature and humidity and can then be stored in suitable kitchen containers.



PREPARING FRESH HOME-MADE PASTA:

### Tips

- Mix soft-wheat and durum wheat flour for tastier pasta;
- do not use cold eggs straight out of the refrigerator;
- clean the rollers of the machine by feeding a little dough between them;
- preserve the home-made dried pasta for no more than 1 month;
- you can freeze freshly cut pasta, but always consume it within 1 month;
- Do not add salt to home-made pasta dough. In Italy we add salt to the boiling water!

### Care and maintenance

Only a few precautions are required for Atlas 150 to last a long time.

Never wash the machine with water or in the dishwasher!

Use a brush and a wooden stick to clean the machine after use.
To ensure thorough cleaning, the roller combs can be removed:

- push the comb-holder sideways (round part made of steel);
- lift the comb-holder on one side and take it out of its seat;
- stick one end of the comb-holder in the hole of the anti-friction resin comb;
- lift the steel rod and extract the comb from its seat;
- reassemble the combs by repeating the steps described above in reverse order.

Remove the cutting part of the machine by lifting it with your hands, making it slide in the special guides. Assemble the accessories on the machine by repeating this operation in reverse order.
If necessary, lubricate the ends of the cutting rollers with Vaseline oil.
