Garganelli are short, ridged, pointed maccherone with the ends cut on a diagonal. This is done with a tool called a comb, similar to a loom, with two parallel pieces of wood joined by thin strips of reed. The typical ridges are traditionally obtained by passing the outer surface of the pasta over a loom made of reeds called a comb.
