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.
