In a sleepy countryside village in southern Italy, we stumbled upon artisanal pasta makers and just had to have their superb products in our stores. Completely committed to quality, the folks at Tarall’oro craft each noodle so that it cooks up hearty and fresh-tasting, giving a good al dente bite. They will take you less than 15 minutes to prepare, so you can enjoy an authentic Italian meal in your home anytime. Only simple, rustic ingredients go into this pasta; just durum wheat semolina and water -- no additives or preservatives allowed. Large penne noodles with gaping holes, boasting lots of surface area and ridges allows this pasts to hold sauce well.

Try a spicy tomato sauce tossed with grilled shrimp, or go for a four-cheese cream sauce that will make a luscious and indulgent meal. Whip up a decadent sauce with ricotta, parmesan, spinach, adding a dash of nutmeg for a flavorful and filling dish. Looking to get rid of leftovers? Saute these noodles with whatever veggies you find in the fridge and fresh garlic in high-quality olive oil for a satisfying and convenient dinner.
