Fantes Malloreddus Pasta Board

This board is specifically designed to create the signature ridges on Malloreddus, a traditional Sardinian gnocchi-like pasta. The ridges aren't just for aesthetics; they help the pasta hold onto sauces and ragùs more effectively.

No, this board is crafted from natural beechwood and should not be put in the dishwasher. To clean it, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or rinse it quickly with warm water and dry it immediately to prevent the wood from warping or cracking.

You roll small pieces of dough against the ridges using your thumb. The board provides the necessary resistance to create the classic concave shape and the textured grooves simultaneously.

Since it is natural, untreated beechwood, it is a good practice to occasionally rub it with a food-safe mineral oil. This keeps the wood conditioned and prevents it from drying out or absorbing too much moisture over time.

While it is optimized for Malloreddus, the ridged surface is versatile enough to be used for gnocchi or other small, hand-rolled pasta shapes that benefit from a textured surface.
