The Tacapasta is a collapsible pasta drying rack made in Italy by Marcato, with 16 fan-out polycarbonate arms that hold up to 2kg of freshly cut pasta. A built-in wand stores in the central column and lifts out for transferring pasta directly from your machine to the rack. Designed as the natural companion to the Atlas range, it folds to a slim column for storage in seconds. Available in clear, red, black and blue. 16 Arms for Even Drying The arms radiate outward in a staircase arrangement, giving each portion of pasta its own space with air circulating freely between them. Longer strands drape naturally over the upper arms without bunching at the base, making it well suited to spaghetti, tagliatelle, fettuccine, linguine, pappardelle and similar long shapes. 16 arms support up to 2kg of freshly made pasta Staircase arrangement keeps portions separated during drying Suitable for all long pasta shapes Built-In Pasta Wand A slim rod sits inside the central column and lifts out for use as a transfer wand. It lets you gather freshly cut strands directly from your pasta machine cutter and carry them to the rack without tangling or breaking. It slots back into the column when not in use. Integrated wand for transferring pasta from machine to rack Keeps long strands intact during transfer Stores inside the central column Compact Storage The arms close into a slim column in a few seconds and the rack is stable when open.
