Pasta board oak wood

This pasta board is a must-have for fans of homemade pasta specialties. Gnocchi made from potato dough can be shaped on it just as easily and quickly as malloreddus, also known as gnocchetti sardi, pasta made from durum wheat dough. The enclosed stainless steel rod with a round cross-section, called ferro or ferretto in Italy, expands the culinary possibilities. With its help, you can make maccheroni or fusilli al ferro from durum wheat dough, for example. If you prepare a pasta dough from soft wheat flour (Tipo 00) and egg, you end up with all kinds of tubular pasta that can be shaped using ferro and a pasta board, such as garganelli or penne. The pasta horn incorporated into the wood - the round decoration - can be used to make Ligurian-style corzetti.

Our pasta board is made from local oak wood in a joinery in Schwerte near Dortmund. The wooden surfaces remain untreated. The main function of the grooves: On the way to more enjoyment, they enlarge the pasta surface so that the sauce served with the pasta can be better absorbed. Our tip: Reduce the cooking time and toss your pasta in the sauce for a few minutes to finish cooking. This allows the pasta to absorb the sauce even better and reduces or thickens it a little at the same time. Top with a little Parmesan or Grana Padano and your home-made pasta delight is ready!
