Durum wheat is an important source of dietary fiber thus helping to prevent constipation and maintain regular bowel movements.

Rich in high quality proteins, eggs contain all nine essential amino acids, thus being a complete source of protein.

The essence of Pasta d'Alba lies in the superior quality of the ingredients used. The freshly milled flour with the help of the stone mill comes from certified organic farming. In the Mainardi family workshop, tagliatelle and tagliolini are made by hand, exactly as tradition dictates. Short pasta is drawn through bronze dies to obtain that specific surface roughness of artisan products, ideal for collecting and retaining the sauce. The pasta is then dried slowly and at low temperatures, for at least twenty hours. Thus, it retains its nutrients, organoleptic properties and a perfect taste.

The pasta is boiled for about 4-6 minutes in boiling salted water and then the ready-made pasta sauces are added to taste. A quantity of 250g is enough for 2 people.
