Marcato Atlas 150 Ravioli Pasta Attachment

If you enjoy your Ravioli this is the perfect machine to compliment the Marcato 150.
Making Ravioli almost seems like cheating now as the process is painless compared to making Ravioli by hand.

The machine produced 3 pockets in a row of good size. Some online reviews say the pockets are too small but I can only assume they are referring to the machine which produces 4 pockets per row. Read more

I need to say from the beginning that I have only tried using this machine twice so far, so I may edit the review for better or worse as I use it more.

So far, the first time I tried making ravioli, it was an absolute disaster. The pasta rolled out nicely in my Atlas machine, but each time I ran it through my ravioli attachment, it would get clogged and stuck, and is very difficult to clean.

The next time, I tried a softer filling and added more flour to my dough. This worked far better. My ravioli came out looking amazing and I was really amped to try it. After cooking the ravioli, I was disappointed to see that most of the amazing looking pockets, was just air with a tiny bit of filling.

Ravioli is obviously more tricky than other, non-filled kinds of pasta, so it is quite possibly user error. However based on the high price of this attachment (basically the same price as the pasta machine, and like 5x more than manual ravioli stamps), I simply do not think it is worth it, as so far I have a 0 out of 2 track record. Hopefully, it improves and becomes easier with familiarity, and maybe you will have better results than me, but at this moment, I cannot recommend this and do not feel it is worth the price.

This is a nice product but it's not as easy to produce consistent results as you may think at first.

The thickness of the pasta is important to make sure that the pockets seal nicely and this takes a bit of experimentation to figure out.(Recommended thicknesses didn't work for me)
Filling and packing the hopper is also key to ensuring that the pockets are full and don't contain much air.
You can most certainly turn out good ravioli fast with this attachment but you have to put some time into acquiring the skills to work it consistently.

I'm on the fence at this point as to whether making ravioli with a machine vs manually filling is best but I do like a good challenge figuring out techniques so I will endeavour to keep at it. :)

If ravioli is a weekly affair go for it, if not, manually techniques may be less frustrating. Read more
