pasta server

Tined serving utensil

A pasta server is a large utensil designed for lifting and serving pasta from pot to plate.

It typically has a slotted or pronged head that allows water to drain while gripping strands of spaghetti or other noodles: She used the pasta server to portion out the linguine.

The shape varies—some resemble oversized forks, others feature claw-like tines or a spoon bowl with teeth along the edge.
