Using the Atlas 150 does require dexterity and elbow grease. The task of catching the pasta can at times feel like juggling, and cranking dough, especially on the lower settings, takes some hand strength. If this is a concern, it may be worth using a mechanical rolling kit, such as the KitchenAid Pasta Roller, instead, which does more of the work for you. Or, consider enlisting a friend—it’s faster, easier, and turns pasta-making into a fun, collaborative effort.
