Description
Fricelli pugliesi Di Benedetto is an artisanal pasta typical of the Puglia region, located in southern Italy. This pasta was created with the intent to preserve the culinary traditions of the region, using only high-quality ingredients and following artisanal production methods. Fricelli is a long and thin pasta, similar to spaghetti, but with a slightly more irregular and rough shape. This characteristic makes the pasta perfect for holding sauces and gravies, ensuring a unique taste experience. The pasta is made with durum wheat semolina, water, and salt, without the addition of preservatives or chemical additives. The processing takes place at low temperatures to best preserve the organoleptic properties of the pasta. Fricelli pugliesi Di Benedetto is perfect for preparing traditional dishes of Puglian cuisine, such as orecchiette with turnip tops or meat ragù. Moreover, thanks to their versatility, they can be used in many other recipes, both cold and hot pasta dishes. The 500g package is ideal for families or for those who love to always have high-quality pasta with an authentic flavor on hand. Pairings: To accompany Fricelli pugliesi Di Benedetto 500g, I suggest a fresh tomato sauce with chili and basil. To prepare the sauce, sauté garlic and chili in extra virgin olive oil in a pan, add fresh tomatoes cut into cubes and cook for about 10 minutes. Add chopped fresh basil and salt to taste. Cook the Fricelli in plenty of salted water, drain them al dente, and toss them in the pan with the tomato sauce. Serve hot and garnish with fresh basil leaves. This dish is perfect for a light and tasty summer lunch or dinner.
