Riccia, meaning "curly" in Italian, is a long, flat pasta shape with ruffled edges, somewhat resembling skinny lasagna noodles. The frilly ribbons have great texture and look great on the plate. We especially like how they take regular old pasta Bolognese from fine to festive.
About the Producer: In 1929, Gaetano Sergiacomo started making rustic pasta using the whole wheat flour produced at his family’s stone mill in the small town of Penne in Abruzzo. In 1981, his daughter, Nicolina Peduzzi, decided to revive the pastificio (pasta factory), naming the new product line Rustichella d’Abruzzo. Soon after, Nicolina’s adult children Gianluigi and Stefania joined the family business, and within a few years, the small pastificio had grown into one of the most extensive artisanal pasta lines in Italy. Today, Rustichella d’Abruzzo offers a diverse selection of pasta, pasta sauce, holiday goods and more.
I had this specially flown n to Florida to make my Husband's favorite Birthday pasta with Shellfish. The ruffles on the edges capture the sauce so nicely. Anything from Risticella D' abruzzo is great but this is a family favorite

Riccia the Pasta
This is my current favorite shape. It cooks evenly and is yet ”beefy” it is dimensionally perfect. You should buy it on my recommendation, a stranger, true … but you’ll be thanking me. A little trust goes a long way.

Awesome Lasagna Noodle
I made a delicious vegetable lasagna with the Rustichella d'Abruzzo pasta noodles. They were shipped quickly and in good condition upon arrival, very few were broken. I’d order from MHF again.
