In Italy, this mechanical pasta maker has long been an insider tip under the name “Torchio OK” or Torkio. It is now available on the non-Italian market (100% identical) as “Torchio Leonardo”. With this small hand crank machine you can produce fresh pasta in different formats in no time using bronze dies.

The way it works is brilliantly simple. With the food processor (multi-chopper, Thermomix or similar) you produce a pasta dough from ingredients of your choice: E.g. water and durum wheat semolina or water, eggs and durum wheat semolina. The machine attaches well to most surfaces. If this doesn't work on the worktop, it often works better on the hob.

You now fill the moist, crumbly dough into the filling chute and then all you have to do is crank and cut it off. The noodles are already ready.

By the way, Leonardo is Divina's brother; they both come from the same family.

The scope of delivery includes 3 bronze matrices (4 cm diameter, not compatible with Pastideamatrixes/Pastidea products) to produce the following formats:
Spaccatelli (Shell)
Tagliatelle (tape noodle)
Torchietti (tube noodle)

(There are a variety of other matrices available for the machine, but these are not included in this set.)

More technical data:

The machine can be attached to most kitchen worktops using a suction cup base.

The weight of Leonardo including the snail and cutter is just over 1 Kilo, so a real lightweight. The bowl can be easily unscrewed, so the pasta machine can be stored in a particularly space-saving manner.

body: Food-safe die-cast aluminum
slug and cutter: food-safe plastic

100% Made in Italy!
The “Mady in Italy” is really the program here. If you are looking for a machine such as a Thermomix that is delivered without scratches or defects, this machine is not the right choice. It is a machine that has been produced in very small series by the Italian company Franceschi for many years. This means that it is not a mass-produced product; clear traces of production can be seen in the processing. As is often the case with Italian products, the machine is really ingenious, well thought out and functional.

Care instructions: Please do not put the item in the dishwasher. Wiping with a damp cloth is sufficient.
