DeLallo Ditalini Pasta, 16 oz Bag, (7 Pack)

Ditalini Pasta is a tiny tube pasta known as a type of pastina, or “small pasta.” It is named for its “little thimble” appearance to describe its miniscule shape. Ditalini Rigate are small tubes with a ridged surface—sort of like a mini Rigatoni. DeLallo Pasta begins with a high-quality blend of organic durum wheat. Wheat is chosen for its beautiful color, wonderful aroma and high protein content and is milled into coarse ground semolina flour and then carefully kneaded with cold, fresh, mineral-rich mountain spring water.. Pasta is extruded with bronze dies for a rough surface texture perfect for capturing sauces. True to tradition, we dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to retain the pasta’s taste, texture and aroma. Where once tiny pasta shapes like Ditalini were known as just soup pasta, these small but mighty cuts show up in everything from pasta salads to cheesy sides and baked pasta recipes. We love Ditalini as a rustic Italian soup pasta starring in Minestrone and Pasta Fagioli.
