Gramigna Pasta 500g

Gramigna is a delightful curly pasta shape loved by kids and adults alike. It is a smooth, hollow pasta shape with a little upward curve towards one end, like a tick or a well known sports brand logo! This Gramigna Coquilettes is a slightly smaller version of the classic Gramigna from Bologna.

It is perfect for all kinds of rich, creamy sauces, meat ragus or flavoursome tomato-based sauces. We also love it with lighter sauces in the summer too. (See a few suggestions below). The true classic Gramigna dish is with sausages in a tomato sauce, Gramigna alla Salsiccia and if you’re ever in the Bologna area, keep an eye out for this tasty delight! (See recipe below if you want to try it yourself).
