100% Italian Grain Tortiglioni IGP - 500g

Tortiglioni from Afeltra are made with 100% Italian Durum Wheat Semolina mixed with water from Gragnano.  Afeltra only uses traditional bronze extruding machines, giving the artisanal pasta a rough texture with many pores which help to better absorb the pasta sauce when finishing the dish.  Afeltra Tortiglioni are also slowly dried at a low temperature for up to 48 hours which helps the protein structure in the pasta stay strong allowing for a better al dente texture!

Tortiglioni pasta takes the name from the Latin verb torquere, meaning to twist, in fact the tubular pasta wraps around in a multiple helix.

Enjoy this pasta with a sausage ragù sauce, basil pesto, walnut pesto or trapanese pesto. This shape is also good for making pasta salad.
