Tortiglioni is one of the cornerstones of the proud Italian pasta tradition.
It was developed long ago in Naples, but has become popular in the meantime throughout all of Italy, thanks to its generous shape, which has inspired a host of great recipes. With Mini Tortiglioni Barilla has managed to reinterpret a traditional classic, giving it a delightful new spin, a lighter, smaller shape, while conserving all its original characteristics in terms of flavor and quality.
The Shape
The shape of Mini Tortiglioni is characterized by its deep fluting on the surface and a hollow tubular structure that facilitates coating by a sauce, be it light, or rich and dense.
Mini Tortiglioni is the result of carefully selected durum wheat and scrupulously executed production processes, in compliance with the time-honored Barilla tradition.
Whether it is served in simple or sophisticated recipes, Mini Tortiglioni is always a delightful surprise that unites the entire family around a dish of authentic Italian pasta.
Suggestions for use
Traditionally associated with some of the tastiest dishes in the Italian culinary tradition, Mini Tortiglioni is also very appropriate for dishes boasting more delicate, fresh flavors. Whether topped with rich meat sauces or imaginative toppings made with vegetables, Mini Tortiglioni creates a dish distinguished by an inviting, generous flavor, but, most importantly, it makes an important contribution to a healthy daily diet. Barilla recommends using it in a sophisticated interpretation of traditional Mediterranean cuisine: Mini Tortiglioni with zucchini, chicken and tomatoes. A recipe that combines delicacy and vivacity, flavor and color. For people who are fond of heartier flavors, Barilla suggests trying the following original combination: zucchini, smoked ham and creamed beans. |
