Description
Description
Cooking Suggestion: They are a great success in timbales with meat sauce or with cheese and aubergines filling. The Pasta di Gragnano should be cooked ''al dente'', which means only to the point at which the pasta is still firm, then added to the sauce where it will cook a little more. Afterwards it is served right off the stove. The Paccheri Pasta has a straight cut and a diameter of 30 mm. The origin of this shape refers to the Neapolitan word ''pacchero'' or slap. The name could refer to the slapping sound that it makes when cooking with sauce or to the excellence of this shape, that can stun you like a ''pacchero''. This cut is originated from Campania or Calabria, Italy.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is Paccheri pasta and how is it different from other pasta shapes? A: Paccheri pasta is a large, tubular pasta shape with a diameter of 30 mm, originating from the regions of Campania and Calabria in Italy. Its distinct shape allows it to hold sauces well, making it perfect for hearty meat sauces or rich seafood dishes, unlike smaller pasta shapes that may not capture the sauce as effectively.
- Q: How should I cook Paccheri pasta for the best results? A: To achieve the best texture, cook Paccheri pasta 'al dente,' meaning it should be firm to the bite. After boiling, it's recommended to toss it directly with your sauce to allow it to absorb the flavors further while finishing cooking.
- Q: Is this Paccheri pasta suitable for gluten-free diets? A: No, this Paccheri pasta is made from 100% organic Italian durum wheat semolina, which contains gluten. It is not suitable for those following a gluten-free diet. For gluten-free alternatives, consider pasta made from rice or legume flour.
- Q: What sauces pair well with Paccheri pasta? A: Paccheri pasta's large cavity makes it ideal for thick sauces such as meat ragù, creamy cheese sauces, or seafood sauces. It can also be used in baked dishes like timbales, where it can hold fillings of meat or vegetables.
- Q: Where is this Paccheri pasta sourced from, and what certifications does it have? A: This Paccheri pasta is imported from Gragnano, Italy, and is USDA Certified Organic. It is also I.G.P.
