About Us

An independent UK specialist for Italian-made pasta and pizza tools, kitchen equipment and more.

Pasta Kitchen launched in 2016 with a straightforward aim: stock the tools that actually make a difference when you're cooking Italian food at home. We're a family-run business, and Italian cooking tools are genuinely what we know. We've been selling Marcato pasta machines and Eppicotispai tools the entire time, and every product we add to the range gets used and tested by our team at home before it goes on the site.

The range has grown a lot since then, but the approach hasn't. We choose products we believe in, from brands that have been making them properly for decades. Almost everything we sell is made in Italy. Marcato pasta machines are manufactured in Campodarsego, near Padova. Berkel slicers and knives are made in Italy, in the province of Varese. Cerutti Inox and Eppicotispai are Italian-made brands we've carried for years.

We're an authorised UK retailer for the brands we carry. Everything is supplied with UK-compatible plugs where applicable, VAT is included in the price, and there are no import duties or customs surprises on delivery.* You may be able to find some of these products cheaper from overseas sellers, but what you won't get is UK warranty support, correct specifications for the UK market, or anyone to call if something goes wrong.

The Marcato Spaghetti alla Chitarra Attachment cuts square pasta strands at 2mm, replicating the shape traditionally made on a chitarra frame. Compatible with the Atlas 150 and Atlas+ pasta machines. Made in Italy.

The chitarra (meaning "guitar" in Italian) is a traditional tool from the Abruzzo region, consisting of a wooden frame strung with metal wires that cut pasta into square strands when a sheet is pressed through. The Marcato attachment replicates this with anodised aluminium rollers, producing the same 2mm square cross-section. The square shape gives the pasta a firmer texture and slightly more surface area than round spaghetti, which helps chunkier sauces cling to each strand. The recommended sheet thickness is position 4 on the dial.

Using the Spaghetti alla Chitarra Attachment

Set the pasta machine thickness dial to position 4 before fitting the attachment. It works by hand with the included handle, or with the Marcato Pastadrive motor, sold separately. It fits the Atlas 150 and Atlas+ via the standard easy-change fitting on the back of the machine.

  • Pasta diameter: 2mm square cross-section
  • Recommended sheet thickness: position 4
  • Compatible with Atlas 150 and Atlas+
  • Pastadrive motor compatible

Materials and Construction

The body is chrome-plated steel with anodised aluminium alloy rollers. The anodising process produces a food-safe surface that releases no metal residue onto the pasta. The attachment is not dishwasher safe and should be cleaned with a toothpick or small brush after use. Do not use metal objects on the rollers.

How-To Video

Which pasta machines is the spaghetti alla chitarra attachment compatible with?

The spaghetti alla chitarra attachment fits the Marcato Atlas 150 and Atlas+ via the standard easy-change fitting on the back of the machine. It is also compatible with the Marcato Pastadrive motor for hands-free rolling.

What thickness setting should I use?

Set the adjustment knob to position 4. This gives the sheet the right thickness to cut clean 2mm square strands.

Can I use this attachment with the Pastadrive motor?

Yes. The spaghetti alla chitarra attachment is compatible with the Marcato Pastadrive motor, sold separately.

What is the difference between the spaghetti alla chitarra attachment and the standard spaghetti attachment?

Both attachments cut pasta at 2mm and use the same sheet thickness setting (position 4), but the cross-section is different. The standard spaghetti attachment cuts a round strand, which is the shape used in most classic Italian spaghetti dishes. The chitarra attachment cuts a square strand, which gives a firmer bite and slightly more surface texture. The square shape is traditional to Abruzzo and holds chunkier meat sauces and ragù a little better than the round equivalent. If you are deciding between the two, the round attachment is the more versatile everyday choice; the chitarra is worth adding if you want to explore a more regional, rustic style of pasta.

How do I clean the attachment?

Never wash the attachment with water or put it in the dishwasher. Allow any dough to dry on the rollers after use, then remove it with a toothpick or small brush. Do not use metal objects on the rollers.

What sauces work best with spaghetti alla chitarra?

The square strand suits robust, textured sauces. Lamb ragù is the classic Abruzzese pairing, but beef ragù, sausage-based sauces, and chunky tomato and vegetable preparations all work well. The firmer texture holds up to heavier sauces better than standard round spaghetti.
