Rummo Lenta Lavorazione
Rummo Thick Spaghetti N°5
What it is
This is a package of dried spaghetti, a long, cylindrical pasta made from durum wheat semolina. The N°5 designation indicates a thicker cut of spaghetti, which provides a more substantial bite and holds sauces well. Rummo's Lenta Lavorazione process refers to a slow manufacturing method that aims to preserve the pasta's texture and flavor. This pasta is a staple in many cuisines, particularly Italian.
How people cook with it
Spaghetti is incredibly versatile and forms the base for countless dishes. It pairs wonderfully with a wide range of sauces, from simple tomato to rich meat ragùs.
- With marinara sauce
- Tossed with pesto
- In baked pasta dishes
- With garlic and oil
To cook, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti 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, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to achieve the desired consistency. The starch in the water helps the sauce cling to the spaghetti.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to thinner spaghetti, this thicker cut (N°5) offers a more robust texture and mouthfeel. It stands up better to heartier, chunkier sauces and is less likely to break during cooking or tossing. The slow processing by Rummo aims for a superior texture that absorbs sauce effectively.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike choose this pasta for its quality and texture.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened package in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, ensure the bag is sealed tightly to prevent moisture from entering, which can cause the pasta to become stale or attract pests. Proper storage will maintain its freshness for extended periods.
