Dual Blade Pasta & Pastry Cutter from Williams-Sonoma
• $12
• Williams-Sonoma
I never thought I wanted a pasta cutter, but then I watched a pro cut out little agnolotti during my visit to the Culinary Institute of America, and just like that, I wanted my own little fluted wheel. This one is a smart combo of a straight bladed wheel, and a fluted wheel. It's useful for trimming pasta shapes and sheets, and for cutting out and crimping pastry dough, too.

I bought a dual cutter like this with a soft handle from Wilton. I waited for a coupon from JoAnn's and got 50% off. It cost $4.50. I also got a retro larger fluted one with a wooden handle from Goodwill for 25 cents!
I use mine for pasta and pastry and crackers and empanadas or fried fruit pies-if I am making more than one kind, I will use the three (smooth, small flute, large flute) on the edge to distinguish the different fillings. A great little tool!
I'm visiting a friend in Rome, and she just gave me one of these!!! Can't wait to try it.
