Zia Pia - Casarecce Long by La Fabbrica della Pasta

Casarecce literally translates to "homemade" and is a lightly twisted, scroll-shaped pasta with narrow grooves down the middle, perfect for capturing sauces. Try it with summery, delicate recipes such as Sicilian pistachio pesto or a a fresh sauce of ricotta, tomatoes, basil, and extra virgin olive oil. La Fabbrica della Pasta has been making pasta for three generations in Gragnano, a small town nestled in the hills near Naples, famous for its pasta production for over 500 years. Pasta from Gragnano is very special: made with local spring water and high-protein Durum wheat which helps keep the pasta al dente, then extruded through a bronze die, giving the pasta a porous texture that helps it bind with sauce, and dried slowly at a low temperature.
