Rusticanine are similar to wavy lasagne, but much smaller. These measure 1 inch by 1 inch and have wavy ridges similar to mafaldine and lasagne.
Our house brand, Bottega Ditalia, organic Italian pasta is made by Pastificio Marella which is located in the heart of Puglia (the old Magna Grecia) in the province of Bari in the "heel" of Italy. Marella, an entirely family run company, is renowned throughout Italy as one the finest producers of traditional Apulian handmade pastas. While industrial pasta factories use a more resistant Teflon-coated steel die, pastas produced at the Marella Factory, or "Pastificio Marella", are extruded through a bronze die, giving the pasta a rough texture to better hold sauce. The pasta is dried slowly at a low temperature for three to four days, yielding a uniquely flavored pasta that expands when cooked. The result is a wonderful aroma and texture superior to rivaled artisan and handmade pastas.
All of our products are hand wrapped and packed in eco-friendly packaging. No Packing Peanuts or Bubble Wrap ever.

"I like to make these into a fast "lasagna", the noodles give the frilly edge without the hassle of the long noodles that invariably break. I make these on night one with my red sauce and then make leftovers by baking them into a "lasagna" without the separate layers, just mix everything into my baking dish and top with cheese. Love those burnt edges!"
"Multo Buono! The unique shapes and how beautifully it cooks make it the best pasta I have ever used. And it is organic. So glad I discovered it."
