- Pasta Sheets (Fettuccine): Suitable for rolling out and cutting into desired shapes before cooking, essential if making fettuccine noodles from scratch or using store-bought pasta.
- Chef's Knife: A versatile tool crucial for efficiently preparing ingredients like chopping vegetables and thinly slicing prosciutto. Durable options include Wusthof Classic 8" and Victorinox Fibrox Pro with a carbon steel blade.
- Skillet: Essential for sautéing vegetables and cooking prosciutto, non-stick skillets like T-fal Non Stick Sauté Pan or All-Clad Stainless Steel Commercial Chef's Pan are recommended.
- Mandoline: A tool that makes uniform slices of asparagus quick and easy, with safety features being important for its use. An example is the Cuisinart M2 FoodSaver Foldable Mandoline.
- Colander: Used for draining cooked pasta, options like OXO Good Grips Pasta Drainer or Brilliance 12-Inch Stainless Steel Pasta Strainer are indispensable.
- Mixing Bowls: Multiple sizes of bowls useful for different preparation stages, available in materials such as glass and stainless steel on Amazon.
- Butter Knife: Useful for spreading butter over lettuce leaves without damaging them, contributing to the presentation and taste of the final dish.
