While you can technically roll gnocchi on a fork, a dedicated board creates deeper, more consistent ridges. These ridges are essential for catching and holding onto your sauce, ensuring every bite is flavorful rather than just plain dough.

Beechwood is a classic choice for pasta tools because it has a slight natural texture that grips the dough just enough to create the shape without causing it to stick. If your dough is particularly hydrated, a light dusting of flour on the board before you start will prevent any adhesion.

Hand wash the board with warm water and a mild soap immediately after use, then dry it thoroughly with a towel. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, as the wood can warp or crack when exposed to excessive moisture or heat.

While designed specifically for gnocchi, the fluted surface can also be used to add decorative texture to other types of pasta, such as cavatelli or small butter pats, if you are looking to get creative in the kitchen.

No seasoning is required. It is ready to use right out of the box, though some home cooks prefer to lightly rub the wood with a food-safe mineral oil to condition it and protect the surface over time.
