Sedanini n° 61 - Gluten-Free, made with Red Lentils

Healthy and delicious, De Cecco’s Red Lentil Sedanini are ideal for light and original dishes loved by adults and kids alike, whether they need or prefer a gluten-free option. The fabulous orange colour makes this pasta attractive and eye-catching, while the taste both surprises and delights – the texture of our gluten-free Sedanini is similar to classic versions, with the rich taste and aroma of red lentils in a pasta that can still be cooked ‘al dente’. We recommend adding a haricot bean cream, and enhancing with a topping of breadcrumbs toasted with rosemary. Available in 250 g packs.

Cooking time: 9 min - Al dente: 8 min

Selecting the wheat

Selecting excellent primary materials is the first step, the most important one in fact, in creating unique pasta.

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.

Tortiglioni n° 23 - Gluten-Free

De Cecco’s Gluten-Free grain-based Tortiglioni are the perfect staple for tasty starters, matched perfectly by rich meat ragù or a full-flavoured creamy vegetable sauce. Thanks to its shape and bronze-drawn treatment for texture, this pasta captures the taste of condiments while remaining perfectly ‘al dente’, making it the perfect choice for coeliacs, gluten-intolerant individuals and those in search of new flavours!
