Description

Hailing from Abruzzo since 1924, Rustichella d’Abruzzo Chitarra is a celebrated pasta crafted with artisanal precision:

  • Bronze-die & chitarra-cut texture: Each strand is extruded through hand‑carved bronze dies and then cut on traditional “chitarra” wires—creating a square cross-section and porous surface that clings beautifully to sauce

  • Superior ingredients: Made with carefully selected durum wheat semolina and pure Apennine spring water

  • Slow drying: Dry-cured at low temperatures for up to 56 hours, enhancing texture, flavour, and nutritional quality


🍽 Serving Suggestions
  • Abruzzese classic: Serve with rich tomato & basil sauce and fresh ricotta or hearty mutton ragù for a time-honoured southern Italian dish

  • Seafood delight: Pair with clam or sea urchin ragù, garlic, chili, and olive oil for an elegant coastal twist

  • Pesto or Carbonara: Perfect for pesto alla Genovese or creamy sauces like Carbonara, thanks to its sauce-holding texture.
