Pasta Maker Machine by Imperia- Heavy Duty Steel Construction w Easy Lock Dial and Wood Grip Handle- Model 190

Bought as a gift for my brother in law he loved it

I actually have quite an extensive set of the Marcato Atlas 150 and enjoy using it quite often. I mix my pasta dough with my KitchenAid mixer and then proceed to make some fantastic pasta. The MilleGnocchi is an attachment for the Imperia machine, which I do not have, so after a little modifications, I have adapted it to fit into the Marcato Atlas machine and it works out great! I have used both hand and electic cavatelli makers in the past so I am familiar with how they operate, and the MilleGnocchi is not very different from them, only better!! After using my KitchenAid sausage stuffer to extrude the pasta dough into a nicely formed 1/2" wide and perfectly fromed "string" I then proceeded to try all three settings of the MilleGnocchi. First, keeping the width of the pasta to (around) 1/2" will ensure that the noodles formed will be the right size and not have any crossover makings from the other settings. Second, feeding the pasta is very easy, but before I did that I springled some regular all-purpose flour into the MilleGnocchi in order to prevent the dough from sticking and jamming. I tried all three settings and the MilleGnocchi produced perfect formed Rigatelli, Gnocchi Sardi and Cavatelli. Third, although it is not a "negative" comment, one limitation of the MilleGnocchi over the other hand or electric units is the limitation on the size, due to the multi-setting of the three different types of shaped pasta that this unit can make. HOWEVER, that being said, I am far more pleased with this MilleGnocchi that I am with just the Cavatelli makers as it is much more versitle and even fun to use. The unit itself operated without any mechanical problems, and my modifications were only made to the bracket ends that attach to the roller unit. I wish that Marcato made a similar unit, but I am happy with this as it is.

It's small, heavy, and it does the job very well. I had another brand before this and returned it. This is for keeps. It's made in italy not from China.

This review is for the Millie Gnocci attachment I've had the standalone Imperia pasta maker for two years and really wanted to try some shaped pastas. Pros: It does the job - it makes three distinct shaped pasta. For my first attempt, I used a heavier flour, and the result was more spaetzel/dumpling like. Interested to try with a lighter flour and see how they turn out. Cons: No instructions were included, it was difficult to attach to the machine - you kind of have to jam it in there. Like I've found with my Imperia pasta maker, there are kinks in how it works, pasta can get stuck, but the end product is always well worth the effort!

A POS Condition was listed as Very Good. Not the least bit true. The condition should have been listed for parts only. The pasta maker was partly disassembled. Box full of parts. Missing parts so that it can't be reasembled. So bottom line a fraudulent statement as to its condition.They knew this product was in a non portable when product was dold. It should have been sold as parts only. Not a usable product.

Love making my own pasta since taking a class last summer. It's easier than making bread, really! The Imperia is seriously well made and a good value over some of the cheaper models. For those who've never used a manual pasta machine, here are some things to know. Make sure that your countertop (or wherever you plan to use it) will accommodate the clamp for holding down the pasta maker. Second, get used to the handle coming out sometimes as you're rolling out the dough, if you're doing it solo. It's just part of the game. It's definitely easier with 2 people. Lastly, don't worry about cleaning the rollers/cutters. Pasta dries fairly quickly and is easy to brush out. Don't fret any pieces that you might miss, as it won't "spoil" inside the machine. Don't make the same mistake that I did with my spaghetti cutter. First time that I used it, I tried to clean it out by running a dry paper towel through it. Clogged things up seriously. Took me forever to clean it all out. Ended up bending some of the "combs" in the process. It still works OK, but ....

We went to Italy in 2018. While we were there, we signed up for a pasta making class in someone's home via AirBnB. The woman had three of these for us to use. The class was given by her and her mother, who were both native Italians. As we worked, she showed us hers maker, that had been handed down to her from her grandmother! If that doesn't say long lasting quality, I don't know what does. As soon as we got back to the states, we ordered one for ourselves. It was a great investment! The maker is VERY easy to use, easy to set up and isn't too difficult to clean. We have used it multiple times, including with our 12 yr old daughter and her friends during a sleepover, with no difficulties at all. Highly recommended if you are looking to make your own pasta!

Can't go wrong with Imperia. Simple, robust and effective. Highly recommended, the best ratio price/quality for a 1st step in the home made pasta world.

Appena arrivata (con un giorno di anticipo) io e nonna ci siamo subito messi a preparare dei buonissimi gnocchetti sardi. La macchina funziona perfettamente anche con il motore elettrico. Però deve essere messo in una posizione che non si adatta al supporto per tenere fermo il già citato motorino. In circa mezz'ora o poco più, abbiamo sfornato un kg di pasta. Acquisto obbligatorio se si ama la pasta fresca fatta in casa.

le plus difficile est de trouver la bonne consistance de la pâte. trop humide ça colle. trop sèche , les gnocchi ne se forment pas. il faut une pâte de base un peu plus sèche que pour des tagliatelles et faire un boudin de la taille d un petit doigt. depuis 3 ans aucun pb de casse ni ne nettoyage ( il suffit de laisser sécher et tout se décolle sans rien faire . ne jamais laver a l eau.

Este accesorio me ha parecido fabuloso. Me echaban para atrás un comentario previo y mi experiencia con el accesorio de los ravioli. No he tenido ningún problema. Hay que hacer un cilindro con la pasta, meterlo por uno de los tres huecos y dar a la manivela. No tiene mucho truco. El cilindro no debe ser demasiado ancho y debe estar enharinado para que no se pegue a los rulos de madera. Lo he usado sólo una vez pero a la primera me ha funcionado. Salen ñoquis uno tras otro. Tiene tres formas. Uno es como un gusano, otro como un limaco y otro -mi favorito- como de aros separados. Los ñoquis son pequeños. Yo los he hecho incluyendo espinacas en la pasta al huevo. El último ñoqui sale un poco "churro". Ideal para cocinar con niños pequeños.

The rollers do not rotate and therefore the pasta cannot be fed through. Maybe this unit was defective.

No funciona!! No se fija bien en la máquina, se sale y se resbala, la madera pega mucho la pasta ( también con harina de semola muy seca se pega todo y no sale nada ) realmente yo trabajo desde mucho años con Imperia y pasta fresca pero esto accesorio no sirve para nada. 🤷🤷
