La Caccavella · 이탈리아

The Caccavella from Fabbrica della Pasta di Gragnano is a unique type of pasta known for its large size. It is considered the world's largest pasta shell, with a diameter of about 9 cm (3.5 inches) and a height of 6 cm (2.4 inches). Made from high-quality durum wheat semolina and water, the Caccavella is crafted using traditional methods, including bronze dies and slow drying at low temperatures. This process gives the pasta a rough texture that helps sauces adhere better. The Caccavella is typically used for stuffing and baking, allowing for creative and elaborate dishes.
