Rigatoni, semolina

Have you ever eaten "drunk" noodles? Then you should try our delicious pasta recipe "Rigatoni Ciucca". Just like risotto the pasta is gradually boiled until it's soft.

Diagonal Madness!

  • diagonal cut
  • the perfect mixture of different sorts of Italian durum wheat
  • "al dente" quality
  • high content of gluten
  • keep their shape after boiling

These short pipes are diagonally riffled and straight cut. This is an advantage in comparison to plain pasta. Because of their diagonal cut they are ideal for soaking up sauce.

Ingredients

  • durum wheat*
*organically grown


DE-ÖKO-013 / Origin: Italian Agriculture

Information on production

10.000 kg of freshly ground durum wheat or durum wholemeal wheat are mixed together with 3.000 l of water. According to size and shape the mixture is then pressed through the designated die plates. The ideal material for the die plates is bronze. Bronze roughens up the noodle surface and therefore makes sure that the noodles can soak up the sauce after cooking. Byodo Pasta is dried at temperatures between 40 - 55 °C. This slow but constant process of drying guarantees a beautiful noodle shape without any rips and cuts.

Here our recipe recommendation

Rigatoni ciucca (drunk rigatoni)

Ingredients:

Preparation:
Finely peel and chop onions and braise in butter and olive oil in a big pot. Meanwhile finely dice belly of pork and ham and add to onions. Braise for a few minutes - don`t brown ham!

Heat meat broth, add white wine and keep warm at low temperature. Add raw Rigatoni to ham and pork and pour in broth while constantly stirring (use a wooden spoon and watch out that the Rigatoni don`t stick to the pot). Leave to simmer at low heat - just as risotto. The noodles are done when half of the fluid is boiled down.

Before serving season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper and stir in grated Parmesan.

Did you know...?

  • For more than 20 years now we have been getting the organic durum wheat for our pasta exclusively from Italy - directly from a producer cooperative consisting of 13 farmers. While the cooperative is based in North Italy in the region of Lombardia, the cultivation areas of the producers lie in the regions of Basilicata, Puglia, Lazio and Sicilia.
  • For the last few years the organic pasta production has exclusively been lying in the hands of this cooperative. This is exceptional throughout the whole organic market.
  • Nutrionists found out lately that pasta does not only make you feel full up. It makes you feel happy as well. The substance responsible for good mood is called serotonin. The complex structure of carbohydrates in the noodle is essentail for its creation.
  • You need 1 l water for 100 g pasta, which is to be boiled in a sufficiently big pot. The water must be salted, a trifle of oil protcts especially flat and wide noodles from sticking.
