Eppicotispai Chitarra Pasta Maker

Eppicotispai chitarra (pronounced key-tahr-rah) is a natural wood pasta maker invented in Chieti, in the Abruzzo region in central Italy, around the 1800's. Meaning guitar, a chitarra looks like a double-sided harp with strings set close on one side and farther on the other. Simply use a rolling pin to flatten and press the dough through the wires. In the center is a slanted board designed to allow the cut pasta to slide off easily. Two sides are included, one for angel hair (about 3mm) and another for fettuccini (5mm). 3½" h x 19" l x 8½" w. Hand wash. Made in Italy.
