Pâtes Grand'Mère Classiques
The classic Pâtes Grand'Mère line of Alsatian egg pasta: long and short shapes made from semolina and seven fresh eggs per kilogram.
Pâtes Grand'Mère Classiques are the "classic" pastas of the Pâtes Grand'Mère brand, which its website divides into two ranges: short (pâtes courtes classiques) and long (pâtes longues classiques). All follow the traditional Pâtes d'Alsace recipe: a kilogram of top-grade durum wheat semolina and seven fresh free-range eggs from France. The company stresses that Alsatian pasta differs from Italian pasta not in shape but in its ingredients.
The short shapes include coquillettes and shells, petits coudes, macaroni, spirals, curly nouilles bouclées, farfalle (papillons), lanternes, shell-like océanes, lasagnettes, penne and torsades. The long shapes are spaghetti, linguine and long macaroni.
The maker recommends the long pasta for all kinds of sauces: long macaroni with carbonara or in a gratin, and spaghetti even with an Alsatian sauce of snails, cream and white wine. The short shapes go with meat, fish, tomato sauce or béchamel. Thanks to the eggs the pasta has a soft, melting texture. It is everyday Egg pasta for the whole family.
