Know before you buy
This board is designed for shaping gnocchi and garganelli. You can also use the ridges to create traditional textures for other pasta shapes like cavatelli.
This board is hand-wash only. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or rinse with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly immediately to prevent the wood from warping.
The ridges serve a functional purpose beyond aesthetics; they create deep grooves in the pasta dough that help your sauce cling to the noodles, ensuring a more flavorful bite.
The dowel is specifically included to help you roll and shape garganelli. While you can shape gnocchi using just your thumb and the board, the dowel is essential for achieving the signature hollow, rolled shape of garganelli.
While not strictly required, you can lightly rub the board with food-grade mineral oil before its first use to help protect the wood and keep it in good condition over time.
