Beechwood Gnocchi and Garganelli Paddle

A beechwood paddle and mini rolling pin for making ridged gnocchi, cavatelli, and garganelli at home. The paddle shapes gnocchi in one rolling motion, and the included rod lets you make garganelli too. A straightforward, well-priced set for anyone getting started with hand-shaped Italian pasta.

Ridged Paddle

The evenly spaced teeth create clean, consistent ridges across gnocchi and cavatelli with light downward pressure. The paddle is wider than the board-only version, giving a little more surface to work with.

• Ridged beechwood surface for uniform results
• Paddle: 120mm long (200mm including handle), 90mm wide
• Works with potato gnocchi, ricotta gnocchi, and cavatelli

Garganelli Rod

The included mini rolling pin lets you make garganelli as well. Cut egg pasta dough into 50mm squares, place one over the ridged surface, lay the rod across the near edge, and roll forward to form the tube. The ridges wrap around the outside as it rolls.

• Mini rolling pin: 195mm long, 10mm diameter
• Makes garganelli with two pointed overlapping edges

Beechwood Construction

Both paddle and rod are solid beechwood. Close-grained and durable, beechwood provides the surface friction needed to grip and shape dough consistently. Hand wash only and do not leave in water.

• Solid beechwood paddle and rod
• Made in Italy

Why Choose This Paddle

This is the mid-range option in our gnocchi board range. It's wider than the board-only paddle and includes a garganelli rod, making it a more versatile choice at a modest step up in price. If you want a larger board with more rolling surface, the Garganelli and Gnocchi Ridger with Rolling Pin includes a stability base and a longer board.

What is garganelli and how do I make it with this paddle?

Garganelli is an egg pasta from Emilia-Romagna, shaped into a ridged quill similar in appearance to penne but with a visible overlapping seam. Cut egg pasta dough into 50mm squares, place one over the ridged paddle, lay the rolling pin across the near edge, and roll forward firmly. The dough wraps around the rod and picks up the ridges as it goes.

What's the difference between this and the other gnocchi boards you sell?

The Beechwood Gnocchi Paddle is the same length but narrower and doesn't include a rod, so it's gnocchi only. The Garganelli and Gnocchi Ridger with Rolling Pin has a wider board and comes with a separate base for stability while rolling. This paddle sits between the two on both size and price.

How do I clean a beechwood gnocchi paddle?

Hand wash only. Let any remaining dough dry slightly, scrape it off, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not soak in water or put in the dishwasher, as this will cause the wood to swell and crack.
