Casareccia

Casareccia is a type of pasta that translates to "homemade" or "artisanal" in Italian. It is a short pasta shape that is rolled and twisted, resembling a small scroll or scroll-like shape. Casareccia's unique shape and texture make it a versatile choice for a variety of recipes, both traditional Italian dishes and innovative culinary creations. Its ability to hold sauces and ingredients makes it a favourite among pasta enthusiasts and chefs alike.

Founded in 1924 in the Italian region of Abruzzo, Rustichella d'Abruzzo is renowned for producing high-quality artisanal pasta. They use a blend of the highest-grade hard durum wheat sourced from Italy, Canada and Australia to achieve the ideal balance of proteins, flavour and texture.

The pasta is made using traditional bronze dies, which give the pasta a rough texture that helps sauces cling to it better. It is then dried at low temperatures for 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.

Rustichella d'Abruzzo pasta is celebrated for its exceptional quality, traditional craftsmanship, and rich flavour, making it a favourite among chefs and home cooks alike.

TITBIT: This pasta is popular in Sicily where it is often served with Sicilian Pesto, "Pesto alla Trapanese", a pesto made with basil and almonds and finished with tomatoes.
