Penne Rigate

Slow dried, bronze formed, organic frilled pasta twists.

Pasta which is industrially dried at high temperatures loses proteins and gluten, known as the parte nobile of the wheat. The Seggiano pasta is slow dried for 26 hours at a temperature below 45 degrees which preserves the original proteins and gluten content of the wheat, giving the pasta its excellent consistency and flavour.

Try cooking slow dried pasta for two or three times longer than the suggested cooking time and you will see that it doesn't turn mushy - it remains al dente.

Traditional pasta, formed in a bronze mould, has a matt appearance and a rough, porous texture which binds perfectly with sugos and sauces. Industrial pasta is Teflon drawn, which leaves the pasta with a smooth, shiny surface, that resists bonding with sauces.

Preparation Advice:
100g of pasta will give an average portion, but calculate 125g of dried pasta per person for a main course serving. Bring the water to the boil, add the pasta and stir, so that it doesn't stick. Start timing.

Put your serving bowl in the sink with the colander over it, to drain the boiling water off into. This will warm the bowl ready for serving. Drain the pasta and serve with your favourite sauce.
