Fregola Sarda is a toasted durum wheat pasta. It is formed by wetting semolina with water. In this way, very small quantities of spherical dough are obtained which are sieved and differentiated into small, medium and large sizes, and finally roasted in the oven where they take on their typical brownish color.
Ideal for soups or with seafood sauces, it is suitable both as a main course and as a side dish.
To be stuffed or coated with sauce.
Pennettine are a tasty shorter version of Penne Piccole Lisce. Pennettine, thanks to their small size, go perfectly with sauces, especially the creamier ones, with tomato or cheese or with classic soups to be savored with a spoon. We recommend light sauces based on fresh tomato, olive oil and basil.
These Italian "maccheroni", macaroni in French, are short dry pasta of tubular shape, empty inside so that they are better impregnated of the sauce with which they are served. Ideal for preparations with no tomato sauce, vegetables or broth. Cooking time: 6 min.
Originally from Sardinia, these specialties are homemade mini pasta with a unique color and a roasted taste of toasted bread. Made from durum wheat semolina and water, they are dried at low temperature, then toasted in the oven. This recipe with squid ink brings a black coloring and a slight iodized taste, without however altering the delicate flavor of the Fregola Sarda. After a cooking time of 10 minutes, this Sardinian specialty lends itself to dishes such as risottos, minestrones, salads...

De Cecco applies its rigorous quality standards to this typically French pasta shape:
► Bronze-drawn: Unlike conventional industrial pasta, this pasta has a rough, porous surface that perfectly holds sauces, whipped butter or truffle creams.
► Slow drying at low temperature: This process preserves the organoleptic properties of the durum wheat and ensures a firm texture at the centre (al dente), essential for restaurant service.
► Control of Serving Time: With a quick cooking time of 6 minutes, this shape allows for optimal responsiveness during busy periods, whilst guaranteeing perfect consistency on the plate.
