Chitarra – the Italian word for “guitar” – is an ancient culinary tool used for making hand-cut spaghetti out of fresh, handmade pasta.

For ultimate experimentation, look for a dual-sided chitarra maker with different wire spacing for thicker or thinner strings of pasta. As for which pasta dish to make, anything goes!

homemade pasta is so much better for you than the dried packaged kind you buy at the store. The recipe I use includes a LOT of eggs making it high in protein and essential vitamins.
