Spaghetti alla chitarra (Italian: [spa??etti ?alla ki?tarra]), also known as maccheroni alla chitarra, is a variety of egg pasta typical of the Abruzzo region in Italy, with a square cross section about 2–3 mm thick. Tonnarelli are a similar pasta from Lazio. Ciriole is the thicker version of chitarra, approximately twice the thickness of spaghetti. Because the pasta are cut from a sheet rather than extruded through a die, spaghetti alla chitarra are square rather than round in cross-section. The name of this spaghetti comes from the tool (the so-called chitarra, literally "guitar") this pasta is produced with. This tool gives the spaghetti its name, shape, and a porous texture that allows pasta sauce to adhere well to the pasta itself. The chitarra is a frame with a series of parallel wires crossing it. Other names used to indicate the “Spaghetti alla chitarra” pasta shape: Spaghetti quadri. Tonnarelli. Troccoli. Ciriole.  

Arcobaleno is an U.S. reseller that rebrands pasta machines made by other companies;

for example the ravioli machine Arcobaleno ARS160 is nothing else than the ravioli machine Capitani RS160. In the same way, the Arcobaleno extruder AEX90M is just the Sandoré MX60 extruder, and so on. Send an email to info@ostoni.com with the photo of your pasta machine; we'll tell you immediately who is the real manufacturer of the pasta machine you own !
