Pasta Flatware Makes Italian Night a Breeze

There is a wide range of specialized kitchen tools and serveware that any lover of Italian food will want to keep on hand, and pasta flatware is definitely one of those essential items. Pasta flatware may not come with every silverware or kitchen utensil set, but it's an indispensable part of any home where pasta is on the menu. The standout among pasta utensils is the pasta fork. This versatile tool is used for cooking and serving pasta, particularly spaghetti, angel hair and other long pasta.

The Details

A pasta fork or "spaghetti rake" looks like a cross between a ladle and a slotted spoon that is surrounded by prongs. The tines around the edge help to break up the clumps that tend to form while the pasta cooks and the holes in the bottom allow the hot water or excess sauce to drain out when you're ready to test or serve. While it's mainly used to lift and separate strands of pasta, its unique shape makes it handy for things like lifting hard-boiled eggs from boiling water or removing meatballs from the pan and leaving excess oil behind.

Williams Sonoma's collection of pasta flatware includes a wide range of pasta forks from both their in-house brand and trusted names like All-Clad. The pasta forks are available in stainless steel, wood and heat-resistant nylon. Here are a few of the options:

  • Williams Sonoma Signature Nonstick Pasta Fork - Designed by and exclusively available at Williams Sonoma, this ergonomic pasta fork features a stainless steel handle and a durable, nonstick nylon head that is heat-resistant to 440°F (220°C).
  • All-Clad Precision Stainless-Steel Pasta Fork - The elegant, polished finish on this heavy-gauge stainless steel pasta fork makes it perfect for serving food at the table. The long thin slots allow for easy drainage, while the rounded tines separate the pasta without tearing it.
  • Williams Sonoma Sustainable Wood Pasta Fork - Made in Italy from sustainably sourced Mediterranean olivewood, this pasta fork is safe for use with your nonstick, glass and porcelain cookware. It's also beautiful enough to bring to the table for serving.

Other Pasta Essentials

Once you have your pasta flatware, you'll want to make sure you have all of the other tools and serving items you need for an elegant Italian feast. You can certainly cook pasta in a standard stock pot, but if you make pasta regularly, you'll want to try out a pasta pot, which features a removable insert that makes it easy to drain the cooked pasta. For serving, you will want to make sure you have plenty of pasta bowls on hand. These wide, shallow dishes are the perfect cross between a plate and a bowl and are the ideal vessel for serving pasta.
