You roll each piece of dough along the board under light pressure, which creates ridges that help the pasta hold sauce. The Marcato version includes a rod for making garganelli too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat is garganelli and how do I make it with this board?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarganelli is an egg pasta from Emilia-Romagna, shaped into a ridged quill. Cut egg pasta dough into small squares, place one over the rigagnocchi board, lay the wooden rod across the near edge, and roll forward firmly. The dough wraps around the rod and picks up the ridges as it goes. Slide it off and repeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat doughs work with a rigagnocchi?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePotato gnocchi, ricotta gnocchi, cavatelli, and egg pasta dough for garganelli all work well. The dough should be firm enough to hold its shape under rolling pressure. A dough that's too wet will stick to the board rather than roll cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eHow do I clean a wooden gnocchi board?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet any remaining dough dry slightly, then scrape it off with a bench scraper and brush clean with a dry cloth. Avoid soaking in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as prolonged moisture will cause the wood to swell and crack. An occasional rub with food-safe mineral oil will keep the surface in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eHow does this compare to the other gnocchi boards you sell?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main difference is size. The Marcato board is 230mm long, which gives more rolling surface and suits larger batches.

The Marcato is the better board if you're making pasta regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eIs the Marcato Rigagnocchi suitable for beginners?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The ridged surface does most of the work and only light pressure is needed. The rolling technique for garganelli takes a few attempts to get right, but the board itself is straightforward to use from the first try.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marcato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58006423404931,"sku":"MAR-TR-GNOCCHI","price":16.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/0148\/files\/Rigagnocchi_2000px_up.jpg?v=1778245295","url":"https:\/\/www.pasta.kitchen\/products\/marcato-rigagnocchi","provider":"Pasta Kitchen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
