Hooray for the hand - crank - I've had my Marcato Atlas for more than 2 decades and I use it often (just last night, in fact, to roll out sheets for spaghetti
alla chitarra).
Don't worry — spaghetti
alla chitarra is just a type of noodle, translated it means guitar spaghetti.
I used spaghetti
alla chitarra because it's a little heartier and holds sauce well, but a bucatini or fettuccini noodles would also be perfect.
This spaghetti
alla chitarra pie is baked in a cast - iron skillet and finished under a broiler so that you get wonderful crunchy texture on top, but the inside remains perfectly tender.
