Pasta - Tortiglioni

Di Martino pasta is made using 100% Italian grain, durum wheat flour from Gragnano, Italy and has been awarded the prestigious IGP status, the Indicazione Geografica Protetta - protected geographical indication guaranteeing the quality and provenance of traditionally-made regional products. A short, grooved and spiral cut ( the name suggests something worked on a lathe) this is one of many variations of the maccherone, whose origin cant be traced definitively to any particular part of the country, though Campania seems very likely. Great with thick sauces, vegetable sauces or oven cooked recipes.
