Fabbrica della Pasta IGP Le 4 Caccavelle in Bag, 125g

Description

Caccavelle is an oversized pasta shape that resembles shells or bowls. It takes its name from the Neapolitan word for cooking pot. 

Caccavelle is a speciality of the Campania region. It’s typically filled and then baked in the oven. You can stuff the large shells with ragu and top with béchamel.

In Naples, caccavelle alla Sorrentina is a local favourite. The cooked pasta is stuffed with mozzarella and ricotta, then baked in tomato sauce. Some recipes also include a layer of meat.

Serve one caccavelle per guest as a unique dinner party starter. This oversized pasta shape is sure to spark conversation at the dinner table.

La Fabbrica della Pasta uses traditional recipes passed down through generations. Their pasta is slow-dried at low temperatures and extruded through bronze dies, resulting in a denser, stronger pasta. This gives the pasta a rough surface that holds sauces well.

Cooking time: 15 minutes.

In 2012, La Fabbrica della Pasta became the first pasta factory to receive IGP status. IGP stands for Indicazione Geografica Protetta (Protected Geographical Indication). It is assigned to products with a quality or reputation dependent on their geographical origin.

Store in a cool, dry place.
