Delverde I Giganti
Delverde's range of large dry pasta shapes made from durum wheat semolina and water: conchiglioni, paccheri, lumaconi, maniche, calamari.
Delverde I Giganti (Italian for the giants) is the Delverde brand's range of large dry pasta shapes. According to the official site, the recipe is the same as in the core range: durum wheat semolina and water. The wheat comes mainly from Italy and partly from other countries; the water comes from the spring of the Verde river.
The pasta is rough-extruded and dried slowly at low temperatures in Fara San Martino, Abruzzo. This matters especially for large shapes, whose thick walls need to cook evenly and keep their form.
The range has five shapes: conchiglioni (large shells), lumaconi (large snails), paccheri (wide smooth tubes), maniche (short thick tubes) and calamari (rings that look like sliced squid). The paccheri cook in 12 minutes.
Large shapes are easy to stuff with ricotta, vegetables or minced meat and bake in the oven; paccheri and calamari are traditionally served with seafood sauces or a thick tomato ragù.
