Pâtes Grand'Mère Mini-pâtes
Pâtes Grand'Mère's line of small Alsatian egg pasta — mini penne, mini coquillettes, pépinettes, mini torsades — for salads, soups and sides.
Pâtes Grand'Mère Mini-pâtes is the Pâtes Grand'Mère line of small shapes, sold under the motto "mini pasta, maxi pleasure". These are the same Alsatian pastas as in the classic range, only in miniature. They follow the traditional Pâtes d'Alsace recipe of seven fresh eggs per kilogram of durum wheat semolina, so they have the same taste and nutritional qualities as the larger shapes.
The line includes mini penne, mini coquillettes, mini coques, pépinettes (tiny pasta grains), mini torsades and mini avions shaped like little aeroplanes. Their small size makes them easy for young children to eat, and the company presents the range as a fun way to introduce the youngest to Alsatian cooking.
The maker recommends the mini pastas for unusual salads, family soups and as a side for meat dishes, as they hold sauce well. These shapes are easy to cook and portion, and they add a playful touch to a plate. It is Egg pasta for the everyday menu, enjoyed by children and adults alike, and a handy choice when you want small pasta for a broth.
