These meter-long mafaldine are wrapped in parchment, just like the old days. This pretty, ribbon-shaped pasta with wavy edges pairs well with sauces of meat, game, fish, spices based on seafood, and creamy cheese sauces. Package contains two individually wrapped 500g packs, one kilo of pasta! La Fabbrica Della Pasta has been making pasta for three generations in Gragnano, a small town nestled in the hills near Naples, famous for its pasta production for over 500 years. Pasta from Gragnano is very special: made with local spring water and high-protein durum wheat which helps keep the pasta al dente, then extruded through a bronze die, giving the pasta a porous texture that helps it bind with sauce, and dried slowly at a low temperature.
