- Artisan pasta in a very unusual shape!
Gragnano in Corsa is doing great work with the traditions of pasta-making in the famed designated IGP area of Gragnano. Pasta di Gragnano IGP is produced only in the hillside town Gragnano, near Naples, using local water and bronze dies. The aroma is of ripe wheat and is an amazing aroma to entice while cooking. Crafted from durum wheat and local water (the specific mineral content makes a difference). This artisan producer uses rough bronze dies and dries the pasta at low temperatures in the local mountain air. The drying often takes 2 days! The result is a high quality, perhaps longer-cooking pasta, with a rough surface to absorb the flavor of the sauces. Let's describe this shape. This is a classic Rigatoni, a large ridged tube. Families will enjoy this shape as it is exuberant and fun. It is idea for a ragu or Bolognese. This also makes a delightful pasta salad. Cooking Time: 8 minutes
