Flat ribbon pasta. For something interesting, try sautéed onion and garlic, sliced Piquillo pimientos, a splash of verjuice and Parmigiano Reggiano.

Cooking time: 12 minutes.

Rustichella pasta is made in Italy using premium coarsely ground durum wheat. It always cooks to a perfect al dente and holds its texture. The pasta is extruded using bronze dies, rather than teflon like commercial pasta, to create a rough, porous surface that is perfect for holding pasta sauce. The pasta is then slowly dried for up to three days, which contributes to its superior flavour and resilience.
