Fabianelli Controlli
What it is
Fabianelli Controlli are small, tube-shaped pasta pieces. They are made from durum wheat semolina and water. This pasta shape is known for its ability to hold sauces well. The ridges on the outside of the pasta help to capture and distribute sauces evenly. They are a versatile pantry staple for many home cooks.
How people cook with it
This pasta is excellent for a variety of dishes, from simple weeknight meals to more elaborate preparations.
- Baked pasta dishes
- Hearty soups
- Pasta salads
- Sauce-based entrees
To prepare Fabianelli Controlli, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, meaning it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well. It can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, added to soups, or chilled for a pasta salad. The small size makes it easy to eat and mix with other ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to larger or smoother pasta shapes, Fabianelli Controlli's ridged surface and small size make it particularly good at clinging to thicker, chunkier sauces. It also cooks relatively quickly due to its size.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a reliable and versatile pasta shape for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
Store any leftover cooked pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Uncooked pasta should be kept in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, in its original packaging or a sealed container.
