My Calabrian grandma used a chitarra. My grandpop, used a board about the size of a cutting board, using tiny nails he strung guitar wire across the length of the board. Grandma would roll out the dough by hand, lay it over the guitar strings and use her rolling pin over the top. The pasta just fell through. They lived in Florida in retirement so she would dry the pasta on a little twig tree in the sun. We called it the spaghetti tree. When cooking was a labor of love, not a science project! Good memories.
Excess flour makes carbonara easier though
Dan used the kitchen aid attachment. #sold

Ooh, good advice to avoid the excess flour!
Dan.. Dan the kitchen man…
Tons of flour. That’s a lot.
