The noodle

Intagliare is a noodle that changes shapes as it is getting cooked.

By deliberately embossing grooves into a conventional pasta dough, a curvature can be created, as grooved and smooth areas expand to different degrees when heated.

The Tool

To produce the pasta, the plan was to develop an easy-to-use tool that could be integrated into household use. After various considerations, it was decided to further develop an existing kitchen tool. This gave rise to the idea of designing attachments with varying groove patterns for a rolling pin.
