Thanks, Emanuela, for matterello, a truly lovely word I'll commit to memory.

I tried a search on Google for ["matterello" pasta] and found numerous entries. However, I found no photographs. Emanuela, if you read this thread again, what is the Italian word for photograph? I'll Google ["matterello" pasta+photograph(in Italian)]and should be able to pull up a link with a picture. The translate feature on Google helped a lot in reading many recipes in which the use of the matterello was used. Also, in just searching matterello without pasta, numerous sites about an Italian city, Matterello, came up.

Best regards,
WW
