Squid Ink Pasta from Rustichella d’Abruzzo

Established in 1924, Rustichella pasta is made with selected durum wheat grown in the Abruzzo region and spring water from the Apennine mountains. The wheat is stone ground and mixed to form a dough that is extruded through bronze dies. These dies create a rough surface texture which enables sauce to cling to the pasta and give the pasta it’s unique grainy surface. The pasta is dried at low temperatures for approximately 50 hours, and it is this slow fermentation process that gives the pasta a superior taste and guarantees even cooking.

A Legacy Steeped in Tradition:  Rustichella d'Abruzzo has been crafting exceptional pastas since 1924, using time-honored methods passed down through generations. Their Squid Ink Pasta is a testament to this dedication.

Bronze-Drawn for Sauce Seduction: Unlike mass-produced squid ink pasta, Rustichella d'Abruzzo's strands are bronze-drawn. This traditional technique creates a rougher surface, textured like miniature waves.  This isn't a flaw; it's an invitation for your chosen sauce to cling with passionate fervor. Every curve and crevice of the pasta becomes a flavor carrier, ensuring a perfect marriage of pasta and sauce in every adventurous bite.

Slow-Dried Perfection: Patience is a virtue at Rustichella d'Abruzzo. Their Squid Ink Pasta is air-dried for up to 56 hours at low temperatures. This slow drying process allows the pasta to develop a deeper flavor profile, where the subtle essence of the squid ink melds beautifully with the rich taste of the wheat. The result? A perfectly al dente texture that holds its shape beautifully, no matter the sauce.
