Rustichella Dried Fregola Sarda Pasta 13.2lb

Originally from Sardinia, this artisan pasta format is made only with durum wheat semolina and water by "rubbing" the semolina in a large earthenware basin, where a mixture of water and saffron is sprinkled (which gives the wonderful intense yellow color) and where “by hand” these irregularly shaped semolina balls are made and then toasted in the oven. The traditional recipe calls for Fregola cooked with clams or seafood risotto with lemon zest or with turnip greens, cherry tomatoes, garlic and Parmigiano Reggiano; alternatively it is possible to season this characteristic format with roasted courgettes, cherry tomatoes and Rustichella d'Abruzzo Extra Virgin Olive Oil flavored with Chilli, or according to the recipe of the starred Chef William Zonfa.
