Strascinati, Antichi Sapori (500gr)

Strascinati is a traditional pasta shape from Southern Italy, especially the regions of Basilicata and Puglia. Similar in form to orecchiette, but slightly larger and more elongated, strascinati gets its name from the Italian word “strascinare”, meaning “to drag,” which reflects the traditional method of shaping the dough by dragging it across a wooden surface to create its rustic, concave form.

This distinctive shape makes strascinati perfect for holding rich, chunky sauces, especially those based on meat, vegetables, or legumes. It’s also commonly used in regional dishes with turnip tops, mushrooms, or chickpeas, making it a wonderfully versatile pasta for hearty and authentic Italian meals.

Our artisan strascinati is crafted using only the finest Apulian flour and water, with no eggs or additives, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It is slow-dried at low temperatures to preserve its flavour and ensure a satisfying al dente bite.
