Selecting the wheat
Selecting excellent primary materials is the first step, the most important one in fact, in creating unique pasta.
Galletti n° 44
Pasta shapes that resemble small animals found in the garden or in fields are not uncommon.
The origins of Galletti (cockerels) are uncertain, but may well come from the Liguria region.
The shape is the same as Chifferi Rigati with the addition of a crimped line along the top edge that resembles a cockerel's crest.
The double-ended opening and the distinctive ridges mean that this pasta is perfect with less dense, more liquid sauces, all of which are captured inside it.
Galletti are excellent just with a simple tomato sauce, but are also delicious with sauces made from beef or pork or vegetables.
Available in 500g packs.

Our method
Attention, care, experience, quality at every stage: from our mill to your table.
The milling
We have been millers for almost two centuries: way back in 1831, Don Nicola De Cecco was already producing “the best flour in the county” in his mill. To this day, we grind all the wheat in our own mill next to the pasta factory, floating with intense and delicious aromas.
The dough
Cold water and dough at a temperature of less than 15 degrees: two details allowing us to produce pasta that fully respects the primary material.
Drawing
Se grazie alla trafilatura la pasta prende forma, è la trafila ruvida a regalare alla nostra pasta quella porosità unica capace di
catturare ogni condimento. Questa è una delle particolari procedure che abbiamo scelto con grande orgoglio.
Drying
Another of the secrets behind our pasta is slow drying at low temperature. It is our way of keeping the sensory properties of the wheat intact.

Spaghettini are a smaller, delicious variation of the classic Spaghetti and this type of pasta comes from the south of Italy, from Naples in particular.
Hot or cold sauces based on fresh tomatoes, vegetables or aromatic herbs are the best way to enjoy this type of pasta.
It is also very good with sauces that are quick to prepare with extra virgin olive oil and a dash of garlic, red pepper and anchovies.
Spaghettini are also excellent served with shellfish and seafood sauces.
