Create a variety of signature pasta dishes with this Napoli ditalini pasta. As a small, tubular pasta, these "little thimbles" add a hearty bite to soup or pasta salad. This versatile pasta cut's large diameter, and ridges allow sauces to adhere to the entire surface of the noodle, making it an ideal pairing for oil-, dairy-, and tomato-based sauces and vegetables. Use it to serve a fun twist on dishes like pasta salad and mac and cheese, or to serve simple yet elegant dishes that showcase fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, like ripe tomatoes made into fresh vodka sauce, or global ingredients, like a garlic cream sauce with Parmigiano-Reggiano. Or, add these ditalini to the rustic Italian soup pasta e fagioli, or any other chunky soups for a toothy bite. No matter how it's prepared, Napoli pasta is trusted among Italian chefs and remains Italy's #1 brand of pasta for its reliability in texture and ability to complement fresh ingredients and bold flavors.
This pasta is made with the finest durum wheat semolina to deliver great taste and ensure an "al dente" texture your customers crave, every time. Soft and fine, durum semolina is ideal for pasta as it easily forms the shape with its supple, moldable dough and holds up well during cooking. To prepare, use 4-6 quarts of water per pound of pasta. Bring to a rolling boil and add salt to taste. Add the pasta to the boiling water, stir gently, and return to a boil. For "al dente" pasta, boil uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. For more tender pasta, boil for an additional minute. Remove from the heat and drain well. Simply add your preferred ingredients, plate, and serve!
