  Durum Wheat Pasta – Spaghettoni

  • Producer: Rustichella d’Abruzzo
  • Region: Abruzzo
  • Shape: Long Pasta

  Primo grano meaning “first grain” in Italian, was an idea of pasta-maker Gianluigi Peduzzi, who wanted to bring back the flavors of authentic pasta made with 100% Abruzzo-grown wheat like those that his grandfather, Gaetano Sergiacomo, made at his mill in the town of Penne at the turn of the last century.

  Spaghettoni means larger spaghetti. A regular spaghetto is 1.95 mm thick, and Spaghettoni are 2.10 mm thick. The supple, toothsome bite of Spaghettoni is especially satisfying. 

  PrimoGrano Spaghettoni are ideal to served with simple sauces, such as in Spaghetti alla Nicolina. The simpler the preparation, the better, so one can taste the unique flavor of the Abruzzo-grown wheat.

  Cooking Time: 9-11 minutes.

  Sa Fregula Sarda Durum Wheat Pasta – 1 lb 1.6 oz

  Sa Fregula Sarda or fregola is a type of durum wheat pasta in the shape of small, medium or large round balls measuring between 2 and 6 millimetres, roasted in the oven and served with sauces, in broth and with various condiments based on meat and fish. The name fregula comes from the Latin “ferculum”, i.e. crumb, fragment.

  They can be cooked as a risotto, a pasta dish or used as the basis for a soup, and even in a cold summer salad. We can now reproduce the age-old manual procedure in our factory in which the irregular shaped balls are obtained by working the semolina in a terracotta bowl (known as a “sa scivedda”) and then, roasted in the oven.
