Small Hexagon Pasta

La Fabbrica della Pasta has created the first and only hexagon-shaped artisanal pasta. Esagoncelli is a short, hexagon-shaped pasta shape, one of 3 extraordinary new hexagonal PGI certified formats. This fascinating and unique shape is as delicious as it is beautiful, and pairs well with many sauces. Add a special touch to your weeknight pasta dish with this innovative pasta format. La Fabbrica della Pasta has been making pasta for three generations in Gragnano, a small town nestled in the hills near Naples, famous for its pasta production for over 500 years. Pasta from Gragnano is very special: made with local spring water and high-protein Durum wheat which helps keep the pasta al dente, then extruded through a bronze die, giving the pasta a porous texture that helps it bind with sauce, and dried slowly at a low temperature. La Fabbrica della Pasta is amongst 12 remaining pasta makers in the region (down from the original 300), and became the very first pasta factory in the world to obtain IGP (Protected Geographical Origin) certification for its pasta. They were also the first pasta factory in Gragnano to make a bronze extruded artisanal gluten free pasta. Net weight: 500 g/ 1.1 lb Ingredients: Durum wheat semolina, water
