A traditional Italian method of making spaghetti and fettuccine. Strung like a musical guitar, the wires are strung tightly to create a cutting surface. Roll your sheet of pasta over the top of the metal wires with a rolling pin. The wires will cut the pasta into equal sized strips that fall through the wires. The strips of pasta can be collected through an opening at the side. The chitarra is double sided with one side cutting spaghetti and the flip side cutting fettuccine.
Use a lot of semolina or polenta flour on the surface to ensure the strips do not stick together. When the pasta cooks the semolina or polenta will wash off.
Chitarra care instructions: Do not wash. Brush and scrap away any flour and dried pasta. Store in box when not in use. Wires may need tightening with prolonged use.
Please note: This rustic handmade tool may have imperfections in the wood finish. Due to the tensioning of the wires slight warping of the frame may occur and can lead to uneven levelling and rocking. To remedy this, we suggest placing a tea towel under the corner to make it steady.
Material: Beech wood and metal wire
Dimensions: L45cm x W22cm x D8cm

What's inside?
A sneak peek to show you how we package up our parcels.
Each item is scrutinised before being sent. We only send items that reach our quality standards. Wooden items, such as handles, might feel a bit rough from the manufacturer. Our team in the UK hand sand some of these items to make sure the item is at its best.
We hand wrap delicate items before sending them to you to ensure they are protected and reach you in perfect condition. We don't believe in excessive packaging and believe the tools speak for themselves.
We hope to do our bit for the environment and reduce plastic waste. Most of our packaging is paper based and is non-laminated, which can be easily recycled or composted at home.
We aim to reuse materials and packaging where possible and this is usually the only plastic you will find in your parcel. This plastic protection can also be recycled.
