De Cecco Acini Di Pepe Pasta, 16 Oz (Pack of 5)

De Cecco's pasta-making process involves the gentle grinding of the heart of each grain, followed by the meticulous mixing with cold spring water and the slow kneading of the dough. This results in a pasta with the exceptional aroma, flavor, and consistency that De Cecco is renowned for. Their pasta cooks to perfection, boasting a great firm texture and a delicious "fresh" pasta taste. The rougher surface of the pasta aids in the sauce's adherence, creating a truly satisfying dining experience.

Since 1886, De Cecco has remained committed to the traditional methods of bronze drawing and slow drying, as they believe this process allows the pasta to fall onto the plate brimming with taste, texture, and the coveted "al dente" quality. Despite their unwavering dedication to tradition, the company has continuously improved its production technologies to ensure the highest quality standards are met.

Acini di Pepe, or "peppercorns," is a member of the minute pasta family that is typically cooked in broth. This pasta shape was likely invented to captivate the imagination of children, who often enjoy it in baby food and vegetable soups. The peppercorn-like shape is both fun and appealing, making it an excellent choice for preparing clear soups, such as broths or consommé, enhanced with croutons or julienne-cut vegetables. Additionally, this versatile pasta can be used in thick, creamy, or velvety soups.

Available in a 16.0 oz pack, De Cecco's Acini di Pepe is a pack of 5-16 oz. boxes made with whole grains, providing a good source of fiber. This product is all-natural, with no GMO, trans fat, saturated fat, or added sugar, and has a cooking time of 9 minutes. Proudly made in Italy, De Cecco's Acini di Pepe is the secret ingredient that can elevate your most amazing dishes. Buon Appetito!
