Traditional Garganelli and Gnocchi Pasta Comb 'Pettine'
Traditional Garganelli and Gnocchi Pasta Comb 'Pettine' is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
This beautiful pasta comb started off life over 100 years ago as a reed 'pettine' (comb) in an Italian weaving loom.
Originally used to separate and space the warp threads, it was created to weave cloth and tapestries. The construction of each comb comprises of carefully spaced wooden slats made from marsh reeds from the Mirandolese valleys, which are glued and tied with waxed hemp thread, before being secured onto a wooden frame.
These 'pettine per maccherone' were historically present in every Mirandolese household and used by the 'rezdore' or 'woman of the house' to make macaroni / maccheroni.
Today, these original loom combs are recovered by a local carpenter, 'Al Marangoun'. Each delicate comb has been restored and repurposed by hand into kitchen tools. The age, history and restoration process of each comb makes every one unique and different.
Use:
Taking small squares of rolled pasta, place on the comb and using the dowel stick, roll each pasta square into a tube. The fine grooves of the comb leave an imprint on the pasta tubes to give a truly authentic look.
The original 'maccheroni al pettine' from the Mirandola region is rolled straight rather than on the diagonal to create a macarone that does not have pointed tips like those found on garganelli.

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.
