Savor the bold refinement of La Molisana Spaghetto Quadrato Chitarra N°1 — the square-cut strand that gives iconic dishes new depth and definition. Made with 100% durum wheat semolina and bronze-drawn to a subtly faceted profile, this pasta delivers a remarkable grip on sauces and a luxurious, toothsome chew. The “chitarra”-style cut evokes Abruzzese tradition, yielding clean edges that help sauces emulsify and wrap each strand seamlessly. From glossy cacio e pepe to briny frutti di mare, this shape transforms familiar recipes into powerfully expressive plates.
Regional note: Rooted in Abruzzo, chitarra-cut pasta is a hallmark of rustic sophistication — perfect for cheese-based emulsions and robust ragùs.
