Organic Strozzapreti

It's hard to know how good dried pasta can be until you taste this strozzapreti, along with the other Semolina Artisanal offerings. I've searched out pasta for years (the way I do for coffee) seeking perfection, because... why not? And no pasta I've ever found can touch this stuff. Cooked right (you will need to tend it to get to perfectly al dente) it has a depth and toothy creaminess that holds its structure as it melts in your mouth, complementing whatever sauce you choose to lay on it. This product is pasta paradise.

This pasta definitely has some good uses and tastes great like all the pasta from here does but if you don't have time to make something fancy or just elaborate it doesn't work as well.

Most folks have never heard of Strozzapreti, or priest stranglers. The are perfect for both tomato and cream sauces. I last served them under my Cheez-Its meatballs in marinara sauce. Everyone has loved the look, taste, and mouthfeel of this pasta. Recipe available.

The flavor and texture are beyond my expectations and I really like the shape which is different than any other pasta I've had before.

It has a lot of body / substance, esp when I cook it al dente. I like to use it when I really want to focus the experience on the pasta over the sauce.
