Rustichella Linguine Pasta 1.1 LB - Artisanal Italian Durum Wheat Pasta

Rustichella d'Abruzzo Linguine is a premium, artisanal pasta crafted using traditional methods in the Abruzzo region of Italy.

This traditional process creates a rough, porous surface specifically designed to grip and hold sauces, ensuring a superior flavor experience in every bite.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long should I cook Rustichella Linguine? Typically, it takes 9 to 11 minutes to reach a perfect al dente. We recommend checking the pasta 1–2 minutes before the suggested time.

What makes bronze-die pasta better? Bronze dies leave the surface of the pasta slightly abrasive. This allows the sauce to coat the noodles evenly instead of pooling at the bottom of the plate.

Is this pasta suitable for vegans? Yes, Rustichella Linguine is made simply from wheat and water, making it 100% plant-based and vegan-friendly.

How does the slow-drying process affect the taste? Slow drying at low temperatures prevents the wheat starches from "cooking" prematurely, preserving the complex flavor of the grain and the ideal texture.

Can I use this for heavy meat sauces? While linguine is classic for seafood and oil-based sauces, the strength of this artisanal wheat allows it to pair beautifully with heavier ragus as well.

Is there a difference between this and supermarket linguine? Yes; the difference in wheat quality and the traditional manufacturing process results in a significantly better texture, taste, and sauce-holding ability.
