Rustichella d'Abruzzo pasta is made from two natural ingredients, pure well water and stone-ground durum flour from the hard winter wheat. These ingredients, when mixed together and extruded through hand-carved 18th century bronze dies, produce a textured pasta that holds the sauce better than commercially produced pasta. This large conch shell shape captures the maximum amount of the delicious sauce of your choice, to add yet another shape and texture to enjoy during your meal.
