Ditalini Rigate, or Ditalini Pasta, are small tube-shaped pasta with ridges. Such tiny pasta is known as pastina. Where once tiny pasta shapes like Ditalini were known as just soup pasta, these small but mighty cuts show up in everything from pasta salads to cheesy sides and baked pasta recipes. We love Ditalini as a rustic Italian soup pasta starring in Minestrone and Pasta Fagioli. DeLallo Pasta comes from the town where pasta was born, a region near Naples, at the beginning of the Amalfi Coast. The art of making our pasta begins with the very best quality wheat. We carefully choose wheat with the highest gluten index, gluten content and protein content. All of these characteristics affect how the pasta cooks, as well as its taste and texture. The durum wheat is milled into coarse ground semolina flour and then carefully kneaded with cold, fresh, mineral-rich mountain spring water. We dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to reproduce the traditional way of making pasta. This method respects the ingredients, preserving the pasta’s color, texture and aroma. Made in Italy with an exclusive blend of the highest quality durum wheat. Extruded with bronze dies for rough surface area made to capture sauces. Always cooks up al dente. Small tube pasta perfect for soups. Made in a Peanut, Tree Nut, and Egg free facility.
