Rustichella d’Abruzzo Saffron Egg Fettuccine

Rustichella d’Abruzzo mixes ground saffron powder right into their egg pasta dough to achieve these golden and aromatic strands of fettuccine. Serve Saffron Egg Fettuccine with seafood like poached shrimp and lobster ragù, or enjoy the singular flavor of saffron egg pasta with just melted butter and vegetables.

In 1981, Nicolina Peduzzi decided to revive the pastificio (pasta factory) her father had started 50 years earlier in a small town in Abruzzo, Italy. More family members joined the business, which quickly grew into one of the most extensive artisanal pasta lines in Italy. Nicolina, the matriarch, remains the keeper of artisan core values, which she demonstrates personally at every incredible meal she cooks for the family. (And in fact, in the Peduzzi family, many important business decisions are made over a heaping dish of spaghetti!) It is these wonderful meals and moments shared at the family table that ensure that Rustichella d’Abruzzo will continue to maintain high levels of integrity, professionalism and passion for quality.
