Manufacturer: Benedetto Cavalieri Brand: Benedetto

Benedetto Cavalieri has been making this pasta in Lecce in the region of Puglia using the same traditional method since 1918. In Benedetto Cavalieri's "delicate method", water and durum wheat are kneaded together and processed slowly and gently. To form the pasta into a variety of traditional shapes, the dough is extruded through antique rough bronze dies and dried gradually at room temperature. The result of this dedication to tradition and attention to detail is a pasta with the distinct fragrance and flavor of wheat and a satisfying chew that is typical of high-quality pasta made the authentic, old-fashioned, artisanal way. Sauce this special pasta sparingly so you can taste the difference between it and the pasta you buy at the supermarket. Cousin to the longer Tubetti pasta, these minature Tubettini are just a smaller, shorter version of pasta. Use as you would orzo, mixing into soups, pesto sauces, or finely diced prosciutto and butter.

Benedetto Cavalieri is one of the leading family owned companies that produce pasta by old-World artisanal methods. Founded in 1918, Benedetto Cavalieri continues the family tradition of making pasta according to the time-honored "Delicate Method". Using only the highest quality, freshly milled durum wheat (Semolina), the process involves long kneading by experienced hands. Every shape of pasta requires a unique blend of semolina flour and water. After kneading, the dough slowly passes through special bronze dies, designed to create each shape, and give the pasta a rough textured surface, to which the sauce clings to, as opposed to falls from. After shaping, the pasta is allowed to dry in antique ovens, and rest at low temperatures. Slow drying at low temperatures retains more of the nutty flavor, and aroma of the durum wheat. Pure, delicious, and versatile, Benedetto Cavalieri pasta is one pantry essential you will not want to be without - buonissimo. This cut is as long as Penne, and has the sharp diagonally cut ends, like an old fashioned quill pen. Great stuffed with soft cheese, or with a hearty meat sauce.
