250gr | Rustichella d'Abruzzo Orecchiette | Handmade Pasta Shape

Imported Italian Pasta

Since the early 1900's, Rustichella d'Abruzzo has been making pasta from two natural ingredients: stone ground durum flour from hard winter wheat, and pure spring water. The pasta is extruded through hand carved bronze dies, some of which date from the 19th-century, resulting in a rustic and textured noodle. Rustichella d'Abruzzo pasta is air dried for a crucial 56 hours, which creates a dense, flavorful pasta that cooks perfectly al dente.

ORECCHIETTI | Meaning “little ears,” look for the woven impressions (thumb prints) on this hand-shaped pasta. Traditionally served with broccoli rabe, garlic and red pepper flakes.
