This artisan producer uses rough bronze dies and dries the pasta at low temperatures in the local mountain air. The drying often takes 2 days! The result is a high quality, perhaps longer-cooking pasta, with a rough surface to absorb the flavor of the sauces.
Spaghetti Chitarra – the name evokes guitar strings. These long pasta strands are a different shape. They are square spaghetti and they are named for the stretched wire, like guitar strings, used to cut them. Recipes? Try with Carbonara, or cream and truffles.
