Vesuvio - 6 Pack
$ 32.94
A Taste of Naples—Spiraled for Ultimate Sauceability
Three-time James Beard Award-winner Dan Pashman, creator and host of The Sporkful food podcast, and the artisans at Sfoglini bring you Vesuvio. This unique pasta mimics the swirling, spiraling contours of the volcano Mount Vesuvius. Its ridges and spiral shape create multiple surfaces where the sauce can cling, ensuring that each bite is flavorful. Vesuvio achieves the three qualities by which Dan believes every pasta shape should be judged:
- Sauceability: How readily sauce adheres to the shape
- Forkability: How easy it is to get the shape on your fork and keep it there
- Toothsinkability: How satisfying it is to sink your teeth into it
You can listen to the story of the revival of these shapes on The Sporkful podcast’s ongoing series, “Mission: ImPASTAble" which also told the original story of Pashman’s three-year quest to invent Cascatelli and his work with us to make it a reality.
Try Vesuvio in our recipe for Caponata or Romesco with Red Peppers, Tomatoes, and Garlic.
