A popular pasta shape in the Lazio region, Faella Bucatini get their name from the Italian word bucato, or pierced, and have a thin hole down the center. Use them in Lazio classics like cacio e pepe, or amatriciana with San Marzano tomatoes, guanciale, pecorino romano, and a pinch of chili pepper. Pasta Faella is crafted according to tradition in the legendary birthplace of Italian dried pasta, Gragnano. This pasta is real Italian pasta at its best. When cooked, this pasta fills the room with the intense aroma of freshly baked bread and toasted grain. Its slightly rough, porous texture creates an ideal surface for collecting sauces, and its consistency is firm and chewy - just be sure to cook it al dente to fully savor its flavor and texture!

Pasta Faella is made from nothing but the highest quality semola and pristine spring waters from the Lattari Mountains.

Pasta Faella, instead, is a classic artisanal pasta that is easily digested and gives a great sense of satiety.
