Il Vecchio Pastificio di Gragnano Mafaldine IGP 500g

Elegant frilled ribbons with a satisfying bite

Long ribbons with delicately frilled edges, mafaldine bring a beautiful combination of shape and texture to the plate. The broad centre offers a satisfying bite, while the rippled edges catch sauce and curl around it as you twirl your fork.

Il Vecchio Pastificio di Gragnano makes this durum wheat pasta in Gragnano, Campania. Bronze drawing gives the surface a gentle roughness, helping sauces coat the ribbons, while slow drying at low temperatures reflects the care taken throughout production.

Mafaldine are lovely with a slow-cooked ragù, a rich tomato sauce or mushrooms finished with a little cream. For something lighter, try courgettes, lemon zest and Parmesan, allowing the frilled ribbons to remain the centre of the dish.

Finish cooking gently in the sauce with a splash of reserved pasta water. Turn the ribbons through the pan until coated, then serve in generous folds with your chosen finishing touches.

Cook in plenty of boiling salted water, for 8 minutes and tasting before draining.
