Di Martino Formati Regionali
Di Martino's line of dry durum wheat pasta in regional Italian shapes: orecchiette, trofie, tagliatelle, pappardelle and lasagne sheets.
Di Martino Formati Regionali is a line of Di Martino dry pasta that reproduces regional Italian shapes. It is made in Gragnano from Italian durum wheat semolina and water; the company counts its shapes as Pasta di Gragnano IGP, and the maccheroncini al pettine are labelled IGP explicitly.
Orecchiette come from Apulia: they are made on a "baresina" machine that recreates the pressure of a cook's hands and gives the same rough texture as homemade pasta. Trofie have Ligurian roots, and their name comes from a dialect word meaning "to rub". Tagliatelle and pappardelle are dry semolina versions of the classic fresh egg pasta of central and northern Italy, sold as nests. Maccheroncini al pettine are a dry take on an Emilian egg pasta once rolled on a comb. According to the company, the lasagne sheets need no pre-boiling.
The company suggests classic pairings: orecchiette with turnip tops, tagliatelle with bolognese, pappardelle with hearty sauces, and lasagne for layered bakes. The line is for cooks who want regional dishes made with dry pasta.
