What it is
This is a dried pasta product made from durum semolina flour and eggs. The combination of durum wheat and eggs contributes to the pasta's texture and color. It is a common pantry staple, designed for easy preparation and versatility in various dishes. The pasta is shaped into small pieces, suitable for absorbing sauces and broths.
How people cook with it

To prepare this pasta, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water. Carefully add the dried pasta to the boiling water. Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent it from sticking together. Cook according to package directions until the pasta is tender but still firm to the bite, known as al dente. Drain the pasta thoroughly in a colander. It is now ready to be served with your favorite sauce or added to other dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to pasta made solely with semolina, the addition of egg in this variety typically results in a richer flavor and a slightly softer texture when cooked. It also tends to hold its shape well during cooking. The small shape is designed for quick cooking and easy consumption.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused portion in a cool, dry place. Ensure the package is tightly sealed to prevent moisture from entering. This helps maintain the pasta's freshness and prevents it from becoming stale or clumpy. Proper storage ensures it is ready for future use.
