Gentile Vesuvio: short spiral-shaped dry pasta by Gentile (Gentile Pasta di Gragnano IGP range); ingredients: durum wheat semolina and water.

Gentile Vesuvio is short spiral-shaped dry pasta 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: 8 minutes. Pack sizes: 500 g.

Spirals and twists trap sauce in their grooves, so they suit pesto, vegetable sauces and cold pasta salads. Classic dishes for this shape: pesto and pasta alla Norma. 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. Gentile is a pasta maker from Gragnano near Naples, a town known for bronze-drawn, slowly dried pasta.
