The Perfect Shape for Rich Sauces: Artisan Short Pasta

In the Italian culinary tradition, the shape of the pasta determines the sauce that is served with it. Short pasta (short pasta) is, due to its hollows, grooves, and firm 'bite', the absolute favourite for rich sauces and casseroles.

Bronze-Extruded & Slowly Dried: Our short pasta from the top brand Pasta Caccese is traditionally pressed through bronze moulds. This results in the distinctive matte, rough surface where sauces 'stick' instead of sliding off.
Iconic Shapes & Combinations:
- Paccheri & Rigatoni: Ideal for rich meat sauces, truffle creams, or hearty casseroles (baked pasta).
- Penne & Casarecce: Perfect in combination with pesto, creamy tomato sauces, or vegetable dishes.
- Ditalini & Small shapes: Essential in authentic Italian meal soups such as Pasta e Fagioli.

Made from 100% hard Italian wheat (grano duro) for a guaranteed, perfect al dente cooking at every meal.
