I have an ATLAS, and have for nearly 20 years. Same machine. The lovely hand cranked one. A pasta machine, like the one I have certainly does not make the pasta for you. And rough pasta isn’t a novelty. It’s they way it was made originally in copper machines. A rough pasta gives texture and helps a sauce cling to the noodle. And I have never gotten uniformity when making my pasta with my machine. That’s one of the nice things about it. You can make a thicker noodle, or very thin. And ease only comes with some experince. Hand made pasta gives you the ability to experiment, and make so many kinds. From lemon pasta with fresh cooked scallops, to pasta made with fresh sage leaves… Happy noodle making!
