Pasta with durum wheat semolina - Ziti pugliesi (500g)

Discover our Ziti Pugliesi, artisanal and typical of the Puglia region. These long, cylindrical pastas are similar to tubetti lisci but much longer. Traditionally, this pasta was served during engagements or weddings, hence the name “Ziti” “zita” in dielecte which means “bride”.      Also called “candele”, ziti maintain a firm and tender texture after cooking and absorb dense sauces well. Ziti are cut Italian style - into 3 pieces - before cooking and are most often cooked as gratins with ricotta or smoked provola.      The Amicis family has been making its artisanal pasta from durum wheat from the Gargano natural park since 1980 in Serracapriola (Italy). They offer a real artisanal pasta, produced with stone-hulled wheat semolina, drawn in bronze then dried at 26° using a traditional method: slow, horizontally and at low temperature. +Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to your pasta just before serving to intensify the flavors!
