Chitarra means “guitar” in Italian. This pasta, which resembles square-edged spaghetti, is cut using a wooden frame strung with wires that look like guitar strings. Pastas named after musical instruments are rare. Most Italian pastas are named after shapes (penne = “quills”),
animals (farfalle = “butterflies”), or objects (orecchiette = “little ears”).
