Earn your sfoglia badge of honor with this Italian-style mattarello (rolling pin), designed specifically for rolling out large sheets of pasta by hand. Made of pure North American hard maple wood, each pin is lathe-turned to create that old-fashioned look with modern precision. Although it takes some practice, using a wooden rolling pin to make pasta helps impart a more porous texture on your pasta dough, leading to better sauce absorption. Trust us when we say that the satisfaction of transforming nothing but a little flour and eggs into a gorgeous golden sheet is well worth the sweat!
