I'm watching a Spanish language cooking show,
and the chef is making gnocci in a way I've never
seen before.

He made a sheet of pasta using a pasta machine,
cut it up into squares, then he used this tool
I've never seen before. The tool has two parts,
a wooden rod about the diameter of a pencil
and a wood block about 3 x 5 inches with a set
of fine parallel grooves in the long dimension.
He puts a square on the block oriented diagonally,
then starting at corner of the square, he rolls
the square onto the rod while pressing it against
the block, resulting in a tube of pasta with
grooves impressed into it.

Hmmm . . . I wonder what that tool is called.
I'd like to have one.

I never thought I'd learn anything from the
Spanish-language cooking shows, but this
puts it ahead of Matha Stewart's Everyday Food.
