The Regina is Marcato's dedicated extruder machine, designed for the short and long tubular pasta shapes that a roller-based machine cannot produce. Where the Atlas range rolls and cuts flat sheets into ribbons, the Regina works by pressing dough through shaped dies to form hollow or ridged tubes. It makes five shapes: bucatini, fusilli, maccheroni, maccheroncini and rigatoni. If your pasta repertoire extends beyond flat ribbons and lasagne, the Regina covers the ground that an Atlas cannot.

The Five Shapes

Each shape is produced by swapping the die, using the key supplied. The dies are machined from PTFE and chrome-plated steel, which keeps the extruded surface clean and smooth. All five dies dismantle fully for cleaning.

• Bucatini: long hollow tubes, 3mm diameter, suits tomato and amatriciana sauces
• Fusilli: short twisted spirals, holds chunky or creamy sauces in the grooves
• Maccheroni: short curved tubes, the classic shape for baked pasta dishes
• Maccheroncini: a narrower version of maccheroni, suits lighter sauces
• Rigatoni: short ridged tubes, the widest shape in the set, suits robust meat sauces

How It Differs from the Atlas Range

The Atlas and Atlas+ machines roll pasta dough into sheets and cut it into flat ribbons (fettuccine, tagliolini, lasagne and, on the Atlas+, spaghetti). The Regina uses a completely different mechanism: a manual press forces dough through a die to extrude hollow or shaped tubes. The two machines are complementary rather than alternatives. The Regina does not roll sheets and cannot produce flat pasta; the Atlas cannot produce tubular or extruded shapes. Used together, they cover the full range of fresh pasta shapes made in Italian home kitchens.

• Produces shapes impossible on a roller machine
• Compatible with the Atlas+ as a paired setup for full shape coverage
• Manual operation, no motor option
• Dies changed using the supplied key

Construction and Materials

The body is food-grade ABS and polycarbonate. The extruder and slicer components are chrome-plated steel. The dies are machined PTFE and chrome-plated steel, which produces a smooth extruded surface and makes cleaning straightforward once pasta residue has dried. Dimensions: 260 x 130 x 190mm, weight 1.3kg.

Why Choose the Regina

The Regina is the right machine if you want to make fresh tubular pasta at home. The five included dies cover the most useful extruded shapes, and the die-swap system keeps the machine compact and straightforward. It sits alongside a roller machine rather than replacing one: if you already own an Atlas or Atlas+, the Regina fills in the shapes your roller cannot cut. If you are buying your first pasta machine and your priority is ribbons and lasagne, start with the Atlas+.

What pasta shapes does the Regina make?

The Regina makes five extruded shapes using interchangeable dies: bucatini, fusilli, maccheroni, maccheroncini and rigatoni. Each die is included in the box and changed using the supplied key.

Can the Regina be used alongside an Atlas or Atlas+?

Yes. The two machines are complementary. The Atlas and Atlas+ roll and cut flat pasta (ribbons, lasagne, spaghetti); the Regina extrudes tubular and shaped pasta that a roller machine cannot produce. Many cooks use both.

Does the Regina work with a motor?

No. The Regina is a manual machine and there is no motor option. The Pastadrive motor is only compatible with the Atlas range.

How do you clean the Regina dies?

Leave any pasta residue to dry fully before cleaning, then use a toothpic
