Mini Potato Gnocchi are a tasty alternative to the classic Potato Gnocchi, a typical, traditional Italian dish. They were created from the original recipe that combines selected potatoes and soft flour, but the difference is they only take 2 minutes to cook. Their small, round shape combined with the soft consistency of their dough make them ideal for delicate condiments such as shrimp and courgettes or vegetable sauces, but also for ones with a more distinct flavour like seafood sauces.
Orecchiette meaning little ears, is the most famous pasta from Puglia. Done by pressing the dough with the thumb, this pasta is also known as Orecchie di Prete in Abruzzo, meaning the ears of the priest.
Farfalloni, meaning big butterflies in Italian, are a bigger bow-tie than those commonly available, bearing soft ridges on the surface in order for the pasta sauce to adhere to it. Cooking time: 11-13 minutes.
Rigatoni with reduced size, it is used especially with seafood-based condiments for fresh and light meals, or with broccoli and sausage. It matches Rustichella d’Abruzzo Bolognese and alla Salsiccia sauces. Cooking time: 10-12 minutes.
Made as a spiral or helix, fusilli is one of the most popular pasta cuts of Neapolitan lineage. Longer and denser, this fusillo (spindle) is an entwined cross that will capture sauce between its ridges. Cooking time: 9-11 minutes.
One of the most well-known and worldwide sold shapes of short pasta, it is traditionally combined with Rustichella d’Abruzzo Arrabbiata, Amatriciana, or Norma sauces or with a fresh and light condiment made with tuna, mozzarella and tomatoes or with scampi and zucchini. Cooking time: 10-12 minutes.
