De Cecco Lasagne Pasta, 16 Oz

De Cecco's pasta is the result of a gentle grinding process, where the heart of each grain is meticulously ground and combined with cold spring water, followed by a slow kneading of the dough. This meticulous approach yields pasta with an exceptional aroma, flavor, and consistency. The pasta cooks to perfection, boasting a great firm texture and a delightful "fresh" pasta taste. Its rougher surface helps the sauce adhere to the pasta seamlessly.

Since 1886, De Cecco has embraced the art of bronze drawing and slow drying, ensuring that their pasta falls onto the plate with a full-bodied taste, a rugged texture, and an "al dente" consistency. Despite their unwavering commitment to tradition, the company has continuously improved its production technologies to maintain the highest quality standards.

Lasagna is one of the oldest forms of pasta, with its origins tracing back to the Latin "Lagana" and the Greek "laganon," referring to a large, flat sheet of pasta cut into strips. The term "Lasagna" began to gain widespread use after the year 1000 AD, as evidenced by the works of renowned 12th-century Italian poets. Jacopone da Todi's verse, "a peppercorn beats lasagna for virtue," and Cecco Angiolieri's warning, "He who makes lasagna with another's flour, his castle will have no walls or moat," showcase the enduring popularity and cultural significance of this iconic pasta dish.

Lasagna has long been a staple in Italian cuisine, with the classic recipe calling for a ragù, béchamel, and parmesan, although mozzarella has also been introduced more recently. Delicious "white" versions with sauces made from mushrooms and vegetables are also widely enjoyed.

Alongside the classic lasagna, De Cecco offers a delicious spiral-shaped tube pasta made with 100% durum wheat semolina. This pasta is shaped through bronze dies, creating a rough surface that better retains the sauce. It is slowly dried at low temperatures to preserve its nutritional properties. This GMO-free, Kosher pasta has a cooking time of 24 minutes, making it a versatile and convenient choice for a wide range of mouthwatering dishes.
