Gentile Spaghetti 12 minuti

Gentile Spaghetti 12 minuti is long dry pasta with a round cross-section made by the Italian brand Gentile. The product belongs to the Gentile Pasta di Gragnano IGP range.

Long round strands suit oil-based and tomato sauces as well as creamy egg-and-cheese dressings that coat them evenly. Classic dishes for this shape: aglio, olio e peperoncino, carbonara, cacio e pepe and puttanesca. Allergens: gluten (wheat). 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.
