Pasta d'Alba

Pasta d'Alba ECO whole wheat penne pasta from spelled

Organic penne pasta made from wholemeal spelt flour has a tubular shape, cut obliquely at the ends and is known for its ability to retain sauces inside. Due to their shape, penne are perfect for rich tomato sauces, pesto or vegetable dishes, ensuring an even distribution of flavours in every bite.

Spelt has a higher protein content than common wheat. Spelt proteins contain all the essential amino acids necessary for a balanced diet, making it a good choice for vegans and vegetarians. Some people who are intolerant to gluten may tolerate spelt better than wheat, as it contains a more primitive form of gluten, which is easier to digest.

The essence of Pasta d'Alba lies in the superior quality of the ingredients used. The freshly milled flour with the help of a 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 6-8 minutes in boiling salted water and then the ready-made pasta sauces are added to taste. A quantity of 250g is sufficient for 2 people.
