ETTO PASTA REGINETTE 1 LB

REGINETTE a wavy edged, inch and a half long, flat shape This is a new pasta manufacturer based in California’s Paso Robes area. It is a brand new company which makes an orthodox durum wheat pasta using only the two canonical ingredients: western U.S. durum semolina and water; pressed through bronze dies for surface texture, and with low temperature slow drying, to preserve flavor. The name of the company is ETTO, which is a weight--100grams, or about 1/4 of a pound, corresponding to what is generally thought to be the correct portion size for pasta as a “primo” or first course of a meal. The cuts currently being produced by Etto Pastificio are all short ones. Etto pasta is organic and very fine flavored, with a lovely, unmistakable semolina taste. Remember pasta shouldn’t be drowned in sauce, because it is enjoyed for its own taste. It’s pasta with sauce; not sauce with pasta.
