Reginette tends to be made by machine to save time but it can also be made by hand. First roll your pasta dough about 1mm thick, then cut into 10 mm thick strips. Once in a long thin strip use a rod or a knitting needle to press into the long edges of the strips to create the ruffes all the way down.
Great at holding chunky meaty sauces or lighter more delicate seafood sauces
