Traditional Wooden Garganelli Pasta Comb

Legend has it that the first garganelli, a ridged tube pasta, were created when a housewife improvised and rolled her pasta dough over a nearby weaving loom. Her ingenious pasta invention eventually led to the use of a pettine per la pasta, or “pasta comb.” Each one is made by hand from tiny wooden slats that are secured together between two wooden rods using twine. Each pettine comes with three rods of different diameters, suitable for rolling garganelli or the tube-shaped maccheroni al pettine, both big and small.
