Similar to the waves of lace that give the finishing touch to a queen's precious gown, this fairytale name belongs to a veritably "regal" shape of pasta, since the Mafaldine were dedicated by Neapolitan people to Princess Mafalda di Savoia.
Barilla rediscovered their elegant shape making them a small pasta masterpiece. Owing to the high-standard quality, the rich flavour of the pasta, and its al dente consistency, Mafaldine maintain their shape very well even after cooking.
This is the reason why Mafaldine are part of La Collezione Barilla: a selection of special pasta shapes, ideal to delight your creativity in the kitchen.
The Shape
Mafaldine La Collezione Barilla have a long form, like a ribbon enriched by precious curling, which stays in its shape even after cooking.
Their secret is a certain irregularity in the consistency, between the flat centre part and the curling on the edges: a characteristic that allows this shape to blend with the most refined sauces while maintaining the pasta's flavour. Mafaldine love rich and sumptuous recipes that evoke erstwhile banquets of Italian noble families.
Suggestions for use
Mafaldine La Collezione Barilla owe to their noble origins the preference for refined seasonings belonging to the rich Italian gastronomic tradition, which they are able to bring out with their own richness and harmony.
Barilla suggests tasting them with game sauces or creamy sauces with melted cheese, all recipes that are suitable for grand occasions. Do try them also with a fresh sauce made with rucola and shrimps. You will become the main characters of an Italian fairytale: a tale that tells the story of authentic Italian pasta. Naturally written by Barilla. |
