Beechwood Collapsible Pasta Drying Rack (2 sizes)

Beechwood Collapsible Pasta Drying Rack

The Beechwood Collapsible Pasta Drying Rack is a traditional tool designed for drying freshly made pasta before cooking or storage. Crafted from natural beechwood, it provides a practical and space-efficient way to hang pasta strands such as spaghetti, tagliatelle and fettuccine.

Drying pasta correctly helps prevent strands from sticking together while allowing the dough to firm slightly before cooking. This rack provides the space needed to hang multiple portions of fresh pasta while keeping your workspace organised.

Designed for Fresh Pasta Making

When making fresh pasta at home, drying the pasta briefly after shaping helps improve texture and prevents the strands from clumping together.

The rack provides multiple hanging rods so pasta can be evenly distributed while drying.

• Ideal for drying long pasta such as spaghetti, tagliatelle and fettuccine
• Multiple rods for hanging several portions at once
• Compact vertical design to save worktop space
• Traditional wooden pasta making tool

Collapsible and Easy to Store

The rack features a collapsible design, allowing it to fold flat when not in use. This makes it easy to store in a kitchen cupboard or drawer without taking up unnecessary space.

The natural beechwood construction provides durability while maintaining the classic appearance associated with traditional pasta tools.

Perfect for Traditional Pasta Making

This drying rack works particularly well alongside other traditional pasta making tools used for shaping and preparing fresh pasta dough.

• Birchwood Pasta Dough Board Set – a complete workspace for kneading and preparing pasta dough
• Chitarra Pasta Cutter – traditional tool for cutting square spaghetti and chitarra pasta
• Beechwood Flat Pasta Wand – ideal for lifting and transferring freshly cut pasta strands

These tools help recreate the traditional pasta making process found in Italian kitchens.

Compatible with Marcato Pasta Machines

This drying rack pairs naturally with pasta produced using Marcato pasta machines. After rolling and cutting pasta using a machine, the strands can be hung on the rack to dry before cooking.

Why Use a Pasta Drying Rack?

Allowing pasta to dry briefly after shaping improves handling and helps prevent the strands from sticking together before cooking.

A dedicated drying rack provides enough space for multiple portions of pasta while keeping the strands separated and evenly aired.

What is a pasta drying rack used for?

A pasta drying rack is used to hang freshly made pasta so it can dry slightly before cooking. This helps prevent the strands from sticking together.

Which pasta shapes can be dried on this rack?

The rack is ideal for long pasta shapes such as spaghetti, tagliatelle, fettuccine and linguine.

Is the rack easy to store?

Yes. The collapsible design allows the rack to fold flat, making it easy to store in a cupboard or drawer when not in use.

Can this be used with pasta machines?

Yes. Pasta produced using Marcato pasta machines can be hung on the rack to dry before cooking.

How should the rack be cleaned?

The rack should be wiped clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. As it is made from wood, it should not be submerged in water or placed in a dishwasher.

Is the XL drying rack double sided?

Yes. The XL version is designed with arms on both sides, allowing you to hang pasta on either side of the rack. This effectively doubles the available drying space when making larger batches of fresh pasta. If you prefer, you can also use just one side at a time, making it equally practical for smaller quantities.

Italian Kitchen Equipment You Can Trust

An independent UK specialist for Italian-made pasta and pizza tools, kitchen equipment and more.

Pasta Kitchen launched in 2016 with a straightforward aim: stock the tools that actually make a difference when you're cooking Italian food at home. We're a family-run business, and Italian cooking tools are genuinely what we know. We've been selling Marcato pasta machines and Eppicotispai tools the entire time, and every product we add to the range gets used and tested by our team at home before it goes on the site.

The range has grown a lot since then, but the approach hasn't. We choose products we believe in, from brands that have been making them properly for decades. Almost everything we sell is made in Italy. Marcato pasta machines are manufactured in Campodarsego, near Padova. Berkel slicers and knives are made in Italy, in the province of Varese. Cerutti Inox and Eppicotispai are Italian-made brands we've carried for years.

We're an authorised UK retailer for the brands we carry. Everything is supplied with UK-compatible plugs where applicable, VAT is included in the price, and there are no import duties or customs surprises on delivery.* You may be able to find some of these products cheaper from overseas sellers, but what you won't get is UK warranty support, correct specifications for the UK market, or anyone to call if something goes wrong.

*UK orders only. Shipping restrictions and import duties may apply for orders outside the UK.
