Spaghetti

Spaghetti is the quintessential pasta cut. These famous “long strings” shine in everything from the simplest of pasta dishes, like Aglio e Olio,  to heartier pasta sauce recipes like Spaghetti Bolognese, or Spaghetti and Meat Sauce.

DeLallo Pasta comes from the town where pasta was born, a region near Naples, at the beginning of the Amalfi Coast. The art of making our pasta begins with the very best quality wheat. We carefully choose wheat with the highest gluten index, gluten content and protein content. All of these characteristics affect how the pasta cooks, as well as its taste and texture. The durum wheat is milled into coarse ground semolina flour and then carefully kneaded with cold, fresh, mineral-rich mountain spring water. We dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to reproduce the traditional way of making pasta. This method respects the ingredients, preserving the pasta’s color, texture and aroma.

• Made in Italy with an exclusive blend of the highest quality durum wheat.
• Extruded with bronze dies for rough surface area made to capture sauces.
• Always cooks up al dente.
• A long cut of pasta perfect for traditional tomato sauces and seafood sauces.

Kitchen and Usage Tips:

The most famous of all, this long and thin cylindrical pasta does more than star in the popular Italian-American dish of Spaghetti and Meatballs. Serve it with a chunky primavera-style vegetable sauce, rich tomato sauce or a simple sauce of butter or olive oil and Parmesan cheese. We love Spaghetti with classics like Cacio e Pepe and creamy Carbonara.
