Tortiglioni pasta with Tuscan artisanal wheat germ g.500

Tortiglioni represent a variant of macaroni. The "tortiglione" is a characteristic design of lathe processing, with spiral grooves, just like those that distinguish them. Products with Tuscan durum wheat semolina, handcrafted, bronze drawn and dried at low temperature. They are characterized by the presence within them of wheat germ, the heart of the wheat grain, rich in flavor and active and nutritional ingredients. Normally during the milling of the wheat grain, the germ is removed, to facilitate the conservation of the flours. The Morelli Pastificio, through the use of artisanal techniques, manages to reintroduce it, because it processes it fresh immediately. After years of using wheat germ, Antico Pastificio Morelli has managed to obtain a pasta with an extraordinary and unmistakable flavour. During cooking, an intense aroma of wheat is released and the water turns slightly green due to the presence of fresh wheat germ. With an excellent consistency, they are ideal for pairing with simple sauces.
