PastaDC

PastaDC is an artisan pasta maker in Campofilone, in the province of Fermo (Marche, Italy), a small town known as the home of Maccheroncini di Campofilone. Under the motto "Passione per la Pasta", the company says it has been working since 1968 and concentrates on hand-made fresh egg pasta.

Its range is built around egg pasta in several forms. The dried egg pasta starts from a dough of semolina and eggs, which is drawn through dedicated machines or rolled out by hand, cut into shapes, left to dry and then finished in drying rooms to the required moisture before packing. The fresh pasta includes chitarrine (thin pasta similar to spaghetti alla chitarra), tagliatelle, pasta sheets for lasagne and hand-made gnocchetti. The fresh filled pasta comprises meat tortellini and cappelletti, cappelletti with prosciutto crudo, and ravioli filled with meat, with ricotta and spinach, with meat, truffle and mushrooms, or with ricotta, radicchio and walnuts.

On the company's pages the lines appear as PastaDC Pasta secca all'uovo, PastaDC Pasta fresca and PastaDC Pasta fresca ripiena; part of the dried pasta also comes in 1 kg catering packs. Besides pasta, the workshop prepares traditional fried snacks of the Marche – stuffed olive all'ascolana, cremini fritti and breaded mozzarella bites – and puts together gift boxes. The company's own shops are in nearby Porto San Giorgio.
