Rustichella - Pasta al Ceppo 500g
Pasta al ceppo, meaning "pasta rolled by a stick," has the same size and shape of a cinnamon stick. This delightfully chewy, meaty pasta keeps its unusual shape when cooked and captures the sauce in the middle.
Serve with a fine-ground meat or vegetable ragu so that the sauce will be captured in the folds.
Description
Rustichella d'Abruzzo is one of the few genuinely artisan pasta manufactures operating in Italy. They use a blend of only the highest grade hard durum wheat which they can source from Italy, Canada and Australia to achieve the ideal balance of proteins, flavour and texture. Once the dough is mixed, it is pressed through bronze dies which gives the pasta a rough and porous surface. This allows the pasta to cook evenly and bind better with sauces and flavours. The pasta is dried at low temperatures over 36 to 50 hours in static drying rooms with regulated humidity to allow the proper fermentation of the semolina and the flavour to fully develop. The pasta will hold its shape during cooking, par-cooking and reheating.
