Russo di Cicciano: A Legendary Comeback on Your Plate
There is pasta, and there is la pasta dei napoletani. For decades, Russo di Cicciano was the familiar face in the kitchens of Naples and its surroundings. Renowned for its honest, pure taste and the promise that top-quality pasta should be accessible to everyone. When the brand temporarily disappeared from the market, it left a void in the rich Campanian food culture. Fortunately, the brew masters of the world-famous Pastificio Lucio Garofalo from Gragnano stepped in: they bought the brand and restored its rightful, historical status.
With Spaghetti Russo, you bring that restored pride into your home. Garofalo has retained the nostalgic shape, the iconic white-red-blue packaging, and the beloved Neapolitan soul, but added a hefty dose of modern expertise. The result? A premium quality spaghetti made exclusively from Italian grain, which performs consistently in the pan and retains a sublime texture.
Whether you choose a minimalist Spaghetti Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino, a rich Italian ragù, or a fresh tomato sauce; this spaghetti serves as the canvas. Thanks to the careful moulding and drying techniques, the strand absorbs the sauce optimally, rather than letting it slide to the bottom. This is not mass production; this is rediscovered Italian heritage.
100% Italian Grain: Made from exclusively locally grown hard durum wheat for a superior taste and a firm, elastic bite.
Garofalo Expertise: Produced with the age-old craftsmanship and quality guarantee of the master pasta makers from Gragnano.
Optimal Sauce Adhesion: The texture is developed so that sauces cling perfectly to the spaghetti, for an intense flavour with every bite.
Quick & Consistent: In exactly 8 minutes perfectly al dente, without becoming mushy or losing its shape.
Authentic Sustainable: A historic Campanian brand in a nostalgic guise, with the latest quality standards.
The Golden Cooking Rule of Russo di Cicciano
For the ultimate Italian taste experience, you use the classic formula for the perfect hydration of the wheat starches during cooking:
Bring plenty of water to the boil, only add the salt when the water is boiling, and cook the Spaghetti Russo for exactly 8 minutes. Do not drain too dry; always keep a small cup of starchy cooking water to make your sauce cling silkily to the spaghetti.
