The Pastadrive is an electric motor attachment for the Atlas+, Atlas 150, Atlas 180 and Ampia pasta machines. It attaches via a patented bayonet fitting in three steps, with no bracket or additional support required, and drives the rollers at a consistent speed while both hands are free to guide the dough. UK plug and lead included. Made in Italy.
Rolling pasta by hand requires one hand on the handle and one steadying the dough, which leaves little room for feeding sheets smoothly through the machine. The Pastadrive removes that constraint. Once fitted, the motor drives the rollers while both hands are free. Maximum uninterrupted run time is 15 minutes; allow the motor to rest between sessions when making large batches.
The Pastadrive works with most Marcato cutting attachments, including spaghetti, linguine, vermicelli, capellini, bigoli and spaghetti alla chitarra. For safety reasons, four attachments must be used by hand only and are not compatible with the motor: mafaldine, pappardelle, reginette and ravioli. The Pastadrive is also compatible with the Marga Mulino grain mill for most grains, with the exception of rice, which must be ground by hand.
The housing is chrome-plated food-grade ABS. Do not wash with water or put in the dishwasher. Clean with a toothpick or small brush after use. Do not use metal objects on any part of the motor housing.
