The Minaglia brothers have been making artisan pasta for over 30 years in their hometown of Montoggio, in the picturesque Appennine Mountains near Genoa. The unique shapes of Pasta di Liguria depict the centuries-old culinary heritage of one of Italy's healthiest local cuisines and most beautiful coastal regions. Made using traditional techniques, with no added colorings or flavorings—just 100% certified Italian, organic, natural ingredients and pure spring water. It is a pasta that, with each bite, tells the story of the people and the land of its origin. Complete with four classic shapes, this box is the perfect gift for any pasta lover. Each gift box contains one 17.6 oz. box of each of the following:
- Organic Croxetti: A flat, disc shaped pasta embossed with a traditional Ligurian design. According to legend, the pasta was originally embossed using a medieval coin called a corzetto, which was later replaced by hand-carved wooden stamps. Croxetti have a fresh pasta consistency when cooked and are typically served with a creamy walnut or pine nut sauce. 17.6 oz. box
- Organic Taglierini Verdi: Long thin noodles made with durum wheat semolina and spinach. Cut from a rolled-out pasta sheet, it has the consistency of fresh pasta once cooked, making it an ideal pasta for a special occasion meal with an added homemade feel. Try them with a simple, light tomato sauce, or a rich, homemade bolognese ragu. 17.6 oz. box
- Organic Fusilli: A corkscrew shaped pasta beloved by both children and adults. Often served with a chunky tomato sauce or meat ragu, the corkscrew shape allows the sauce to cling to the pasta. Originally made by rolling fresh spaghetti around thin rods, this pasta is a staple of southern Italian cooking. 17.6 oz. box
- Organic Trofiette: A short twisted pasta, typically found in the coastal villages of Liguria and served with traditional basil pesto. 17.6 oz. box
