Garofalo is a traditional pasta maker from Gragnano, the birth place of pasta in Italy, near Naples in the Campania region.
You may believe all pasta is the same and wonder why you should pay more for one pasta than another? Well, not all pasta is created equality and varies considerably depending on the raw materials used and the method for making the shapes and drying the pasta.
Pasta making the Garofalo Way Pasta is simply made with water and durum wheat semolina and you can’t produce excellent pasta if the best wheat is not used. It is the quality and quantity of gluten present primarily that determines the quality of the wheat; Garofalo only use high quality durum wheat semolina that meets strictly controlled criteria for every pack of pasta with the Garofalo signature on it.
Once the paste is formed, it is extruded through a die to form the different shapes. Using a traditional die made from bronze results in slightly rough texture on the surface of the pasta allowing the sauce to cling to the pasta resulting in a lovely mix of pasta and sauce in each mouthful! The alternative is a die made from Teflon (cheaper than the bronze die), which gives smooth and slippery pasta surface. At Garofalo we use bronze dies.
The pasta then has to be dried. The temperature of the drying process and the time it takes is critical and controlled closely at Garofalo for the high quality of the final product. Pasta and Sauce We often get asked which pasta shape goes with which sauce? This depends on the sauce consistency and the ability of the pasta to hold the sauce, but the pasta sauce equation is worth remembering
The Chunkier the Sauce = The Larger the Pasta shape
Though add to this equation a twist of personal taste! Do let us know if you have enjoyed your pack of Fusilli Bucatti Corti and what sauce you have combined it with, we are on Facebook and Twitter.
