Birkel's No.1 Hörnchen: short curved tube-shaped dry pasta by Birkel (Birkel's No.1 range); ingredients: durum wheat semolina and fresh egg (10%) from barn hens.

Birkel's No.1 Hörnchen is short curved tube-shaped dry pasta from the German brand Birkel. The product belongs to the Birkel's No.1 range.

Ingredients: durum wheat semolina and fresh egg (10%) from barn hens. Cooking time according to the official site: 7 minutes. Protein: 13 g per 100 g.

The curve traps sauce, making the shape a good choice for cheese sauces, legume soups and baked pasta. Classic dishes for this shape: cacio e pepe. Allergens: gluten (wheat), egg. May contain traces of soy. As with any pasta, use plenty of salted boiling water and toss it with the sauce straight after draining. The exact time can vary slightly with the water and the pot, so it is worth tasting a piece a minute before the end.
