1.1lb | Rustichella d'Abruzzo Small Cut Pasta | three cuts/shapes (select above)

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.

ANELLINI | meaning “little rings,” this pasta cut is from Sicily and perfect for soups and baked dishes.

ORZO | present almost everywhere in Italy, rice-shaped Orzo is great in soups, as a side dish, or in pasta salads.

TROFIE | small, twisted pasta which is traditionally served with pesto though it is delicious with meat sauces as well.  Note: (click here) Rustichella d'Abruzzo Trofie is also a "handmade shape" and can be ordered on that prodcut page.
