Fabbrica della Pasta IGP Squid Ink Penne, 500g

Description

Squid ink penne has a subtle taste of the sea. La Fabbrica della Pasta uses powdered ink to give the pasta its dark colour. It’s a delicious alternative to traditional penne. 

In Italy, squid ink pasta is typically served with seafood. Make a light tomato and white wine sauce so the squid ink flavour shines through. Then, add a handful of prawns or mussels.

Squid ink penne can stand up to bold-flavoured ingredients. For a change from seafood, try serving it with crispy chorizo. Add lemon juice, parsley and a splash of sherry to create a quick sauce.

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: 11 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.
