Artisan pasta: tradition, ingredients and territory

Artisan pasta represents one of the most recognizable expressions of Italian gastronomic heritage. Flour and semolina, water and, depending on the recipe, eggs or other ingredients are transformed into pasta through processes that can enhance raw materials, traditional shapes, production characteristics and regional identity.

On Kalindra, this category brings together different interpretations of artisan pasta: durum wheat semolina pasta, egg pasta, fresh and dried pasta, long and short shapes, regional pasta, filled pasta and specialties made with different flours or ingredients, according to availability.

Spaghetti, linguine, tagliatelle, pappardelle, fusilli, paccheri, rigatoni, orecchiette and many other shapes are more than different forms: size, surface and structure influence how pasta interacts with sauces, seasonings and cooking methods.

Production methods and characteristics

When choosing artisan pasta, consider the type of flour or semolina, ingredients, shape, production method, drying process where applicable, origin and producer information.

Bronze-die extrusion, when actually used, can give pasta a different surface compared with other production processes. Drying times and temperatures can also vary between producers and should be checked in the specific product information.

From tradition to contemporary cuisine

Artisan pasta has a place in home cooking, restaurants, delicatessens and the Ho.Re.Ca. sector. It can enhance traditional regional recipes or become the starting point for contemporary creations.

Choosing a pasta shape also means thinking about the finished dish: long, short, ridged, smooth, fresh, dried or filled pasta provides different textures and gastronomic experiences.

Kalindra connects consumers, professionals and businesses with producers and food specialties, creating a place to discover, understand and compare artisan pasta in its many expressions.
