Shaped like guitar strings, this square edged noodle is made by pressing sheets of semolina dough through tight rows of metal strings. We like to serve with sauteed julienned vegetables with lots of garlic!
Made from stone ground durum flour from hard winter wheat and pure spring water, Rustichella d'Abruzzo pasta is the finest we've tasted. The dyes through which the pasta is extruded date back the 1800's and lend a wonderful texture and coarseness to the noodle. This, plus the 56 hour drying process, create a wonderful, dense, chewy pasta that is wonderful with all of your favorite sauces.

I always wondered if there was a difference between different brands of dried pasta or if there was even such a thing as "premium" dried pasta. After discovering Rustichella, I had my answer. This pasta is thick and toothy and this particular shape (Chitarra, meaning guitar string I believe) is very unique. It latches on to sauce really well. I enjoy eating it with an uni butter sauce.

This is kind of like a square spaghetti. Terrific texture that works great with a tomato sauce or a meat sauce. My wife's favorite.
