Using this gnocchi pasta board is a breeze. First, prepare your pasta dough. Then, place a small piece of dough on the board and gently roll it with your thumb. The ridges on the board will help shape the dough into authentic Italian gnocchi. It's much easier and creates a more consistent shape than using a fork. Remember, this board is made of natural beech wood, so it's important to only hand wash it. After washing, dry it thoroughly to prevent any damage to the wood. With proper care, this board will serve you well for making delicious gnocchi for a long time.
