Gentile Spaghetti alla Chitarra

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

Ingredients: durum wheat semolina and water. Cooking time according to the official site: 12 minutes. Pack sizes: 500 g.

The square edges give a firm bite and hold meat ragù, tomato sauces and pecorino-based dressings well. Classic dishes for this shape: amatriciana, cacio e pepe and carbonara. 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.
