Just durum wheat semolina and water are used to form these cute curved discs that take less than 15 minutes to prepare taste just like homemade. Imported from a sleepy countryside in southern Italy, the quality of this artisanal pasta is unmatched because only all-natural, simple, rustic ingredients are used, making it incredibly fresh tasting and satisfying.

This shape is incredibly versatile; fun to use in kid-friendly meals like mac and cheese, and sophisticated enough for a spicy sausage with broccoli raab dish that you can serve at a dinner party. The ultimate comfort food, this pasta is good enough to eat with just a sprinkle of olive oil and a dash of salt, but is excellent in lemon sauce with chicken for a protein-packed plate. For a quick meal, simple serve with tomato, cream, or Bolognese sauces, or try it cold in a pasta salad. Saute with vegetables like eggplant, tomatoes, onions, and asparagus, and add globs of mozzarella or sprinkle fresh pecorino or parmesan for a nuttier touch.
