Sfoglini Vesuvio, 1lb

Meet Vesuvio, brought to you by the artisans at Sfoglini and Dan Pashman, three-time James Beard Award-winner and creator and host of The Sporkful food podcast. This unique pasta mimics the swirling, spiraling contours of the volcano Mount Vesuvius in Naples, Italy. Vesuvio’s ridges and spiral shape create multiple surfaces where the sauce can cling, ensuring that each bite is bursting with flavor. Like all Sfoglini pasta, it has also been bronze die extruded, a process that imparts a rougher surface texture that holds onto sauce. This pasta is made with durum semolina flour, a staple in traditional Italian pasta for centuries. Durum semolina helps to create pasta that holds its shape and delivers the essential al dente texture for a better bite. Not a TV gimmick, this pasta is the real thing.
