Marcato Otello Pasta Machine

The anodized aluminum alloy rollers create a slightly porous surface on the pasta dough. This texture helps the pasta better absorb and hold onto sauces, resulting in a more flavorful dish compared to pasta made with smooth steel rollers.

This machine is not dishwasher safe. To clean it, use a dry brush or a wooden skewer to remove any dried dough residue from the rollers after each use. Never wash the machine with water or soap, as moisture can cause the internal components to rust or degrade.

The Otello is primarily designed for rolling out consistent, high-quality pasta sheets. While you can use these sheets to hand-cut shapes like pappardelle or farfalle, the machine itself does not include integrated cutters for specific noodles like spaghetti or fettuccine.

The Otello features 7 adjustable thickness settings. This range allows you to create everything from very thin sheets for delicate ravioli to thicker, heartier dough for rustic noodles.

No, the Otello is a limited-edition collector's item designed for manual operation. It is not compatible with the Marcato PastaDrive motor or other standard motorized attachments.
