Bring the Authentic Italian Trattoria to Your Kitchen
Imagine a lively Sunday lunch in a sun-drenched Italian village. The table is filled with bowls of steaming pasta, and everywhere you hear the cheerful clinking of glasses and cutlery. There is laughter, sharing, and enjoyment. At the centre of the table are the robust, short-holding pasta types, perfectly designed to capture rich sauces, pieces of vegetables, meat, or melting cheese in their hollows. This is the pure, heartfelt soul of the Italian family tradition.
With Pasta Package D – Pasta Corta from Kelvini Italian Artisan, you bring this cosy and flavoursome tradition directly into your own kitchen. We have brought together six carefully selected, premium short pasta types in one exclusive discovery package. From the beloved, classic penne to unique, authentic shapes like paccheri and calamarata; this package offers the ultimate variety for every lover of hearty pasta dishes and casseroles. This is not ordinary pasta; this is artisanal craftsmanship, lovingly kneaded to make every bite a celebration.
The Secret of the Perfect Bite (Trafilata al Bronzo)
What makes the pasta in this Pasta Corta Package so unique? Short pasta shapes excel in texture and sauce retention. The secret of our artisanal line lies in the traditional bronze molds (trafilata al bronzo). Unlike smooth, factory-made pasta, the bronze-extraction creates a characteristic, rough and porous structure. This means the sauce does not slide off the pasta, but nestles deeply into the grooves and hollows. Made from the very best quality durum wheat (semolina), each shape retains its perfect, firm al dente bite, even in richly filled casseroles.
What is included in Package D – Pasta Corta (6x 500g)?
The Six Artisan Masters:
Ziti Tagliati (500g): Smooth, straight tube pasta with a rich history. Traditionally the favourite for Neapolitan celebrations and the ultimate base for richly filled, golden-brown baked pasta dishes from the oven.
Paccheri (500g): Large, impressively wide tubes. A Southern Italian classic that pairs fantastically with coarse, slow-cooked meat sauces (ragù) or can be filled with creamy ricotta.
Lumachine (500g): Playful, small 'snail shells'. Thanks to their unique, curved shape and hollow, they are masters at capturing and holding lighter sauces, peas and creamy cheese sauces.
Calamarata (500g): Wide, smooth rings that resemble squid rings (calamari) in shape. An absolute delicacy, particularly suitable for refined seafood sauces, rich tomato sauces or dishes with fresh fish.
Caserecce (500g): Elegantly twisted, S-shaped pasta from Sicily. The subtle fold along the length is specially designed to perfectly scoop up pestos (such as Pesto alla Genovese or Trapanese) and sauces.
Penne Rigate (500g): The indispensable, universal king of short pasta. Perfectly angled and featuring deep grooves to absorb flavourful pestos, creamy sauces or a spicy Arrabiata.
