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 dies 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.

Translates to "pasta on a stick", this is a great cut for holding light sauces. This was originally hand-shaped by wrapping square sheets of pasta around knitting needles.
