Pasta is so much more than a quick everyday dish.

It is pleasure, lifestyle and tradition – and you can taste it with every fork.

But what really matters if you want to conjure up your perfect pasta?

We show you what you should look out for when buying pasta, what is important when preparing it – and why pasta made from traditional bronze dies makes all the difference.

 

What makes a really good pasta?

Not all pasta is the same – even if it often looks like it.

In addition to the ingredients, the production process is also decisive for the quality of pasta. Our pasta stands out from conventional pasta in many ways and offers you an incomparable taste experience. Because it is not just an ingredient – it is the heart of every dish.

But what makes them so special?

You should pay attention to this when cooking pasta

Good pasta deserves good preparation. With these tips, you can make any dish like an Italian:

• Salt correctly – and early enough: the cooking water should be as salty as the sea. Only add the salt when the water is boiling, otherwise it will take longer to bubble.
• No oil in the cooking water: A widespread myth: oil in the water prevents sticking. But this is not true – it only prevents the sauce from sticking later. Better: After cooking, mix the pasta directly with the sauce.
• Al dente – but really: the right cooking point is a matter of taste, but: some bite must remain. High-quality pasta made from bronze dies retains its shape better and has more structure.
• Don’t throw away the pasta water: a sip of the starchy water acts as a natural emulsifier when mixed with the sauce – for creamier, rounder cooking results.
