Spaghettino – Afeltra 500gr

Spaghettino by Afeltra is a premium Italian pasta from Gragnano, crafted using the finest durum wheat semolina and shaped through traditional bronze dies. This thin spaghetti variant offers a delicate texture that pairs beautifully with light sauces, making it a versatile choice for everyday Italian cooking.

Why Choose Afeltra Spaghettino?

Afeltra is one of Gragnano’s most celebrated pasta producers, renowned for slow drying their pasta at low temperatures to preserve the natural wheat flavour. Furthermore, the bronze-die extrusion creates a slightly rough surface that helps sauces cling to every strand. Additionally, the pasta is made exclusively in Gragnano, the historic town near Naples recognised for its centuries-old pasta-making tradition.

How to Cook Spaghettino

Cook Spaghettino in a large pot of salted boiling water for approximately 5–6 minutes until al dente. As a result of its thin shape, it cooks faster than standard spaghetti. Notably, it pairs exceptionally well with seafood sauces, clams, pesto, or a simple aglio e olio.
