Pasta Casarecce

Pasta Casarecce is a type of pasta that hails from Southern Italy. The name "casarecce" roughly translates to "homemade" or "handmade," reflecting its rustic appearance and traditional roots.

Casarecce is characterized by its short, rolled tubes with a slight twist. The twisted shape and ridges on the surface make it particularly adept at holding onto sauces.

You can pair Casarecce with a range of sauces, including pesto, tomato-based sauces, cream sauces, and even meat or vegetable-based ragùs. The textured surface of the pasta helps sauces adhere, ensuring a flavorful and satisfying eating experience.
