Suma Organic Italian White Strozzapreti 500g

The Hand-Rolled Tradition of the Emilia-Romagna Region.

Suma Organic Italian White Strozzapreti is a fascinating, rustic pasta shape with a storied history. Translated from Italian as "priest-strangler," its elongated, hand-rolled appearance looks like two strands of pasta twisted together into a single, tightly coiled tube. This unique shape creates a wonderful, uneven texture that feels substantial and satisfying in the mouth.

Made in Italy with organic durum wheat semolina, this pasta embodies the rustic charm of traditional pasta-making. Its complex, twisted structure makes it a master at gripping even the most complex or creamy sauces.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Distinctive Texture: The twisting process creates a shape that is firmer and chewier than standard pasta, offering a fantastic "al dente" bite that keeps you coming back for more.

• Supreme "Sauce-Cling": Because of the grooves formed by the twisting of the dough, this shape is exceptional at holding onto thick, hearty sauces, pesto, or simple, fragrant olive oil and herb dressings.

• Authentic Italian Craftsmanship: Crafted using traditional bronze-die methods, resulting in the signature porous, rough surface that allows sauce to penetrate the pasta rather than sitting on top.

• Versatile Performer: Whether tossed with a classic meat ragu, a fresh tomato and basil sauce, or a decadent cream-based sauce with mushrooms and truffle, strozzapreti is robust enough to stand up to it all.

• 100% Certified Organic: Sustainably farmed and produced without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or GMOs, reflecting Suma’s commitment to ethical and organic food.

Tips for Perfect Strozzapreti

• The Emulsification Hack: Before draining, always save a mug of the starchy, salty cooking water. Adding a splash of this water to your sauce pan as you toss the pasta helps bind the sauce into the twists of the pasta, creating a silky, professional-grade finish.

• Cook for the Bite: Because of their thicker, twisted structure, strozzapreti can take a bit longer to reach the perfect al dente texture. Start tasting them a minute or two before the suggested cooking time to ensure they don't overcook.

• Don't Rinse: Rinsing will remove the precious starch from the surface of the twisted dough. Drain and immediately toss into your hot sauce for the best results.

• Pair with Texture: This pasta loves ingredients that add contrast. Think toasted pine nuts, finely chopped olives, or crispy bits of bacon or pancetta—these small ingredients get lodged perfectly into the crevices of the twists.
