Il Bigolaro is delightful, useful, and children (as well as adults) are completely charmed by it.

Once attached to a bench, counter, or tabletop, the pasta dough is pressed through a brass barrel, extruding in long strands through a thick, solid brass die. Il Bigolaro comes with two dies; spaghetti and rigatoni. There are multiple other dies to choose from (bigoli, fettuccini, etc.), and the resulting pasta is textured and ragged, prized for its ability to hold sauce.
