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.
