De Cecco Pasta Acini De Pepe Pasta, 16 oz

Description:

  • Authentic Italian Pasta: De Cecco Acini Di Pepe No. 78 is a traditional Italian pasta with a tiny, round shape, perfect for thick creamy or velvety soups
  • Premium Ingredients: We use durum wheat which is a high-protein, hard variety of wheat. The result is a smooth, firm bite that holds its shape and taste, giving you a superior pasta experience
  • The De Cecco Method: Our pasta is renowned for its slow-drying process, where the pasta is gently dried at low temperatures for longer periods. This technique preserves the pasta's flavor, texture, and nutritional quality
  • Endless Possibilities: Our Acini di Pepe is perfect for pasta salads, creamy or cheesy dishes, or enjoy it with your favorite Italian Wedding Soup recipe. Our versatile pasta helps transform every lunch & dinner into an unforgettable moment
  • Discover the Tradition: Since 1886, we've been dedicated to bringing authentic Italian flavors to tables worldwide, with passion and attention to every detail, preserving a tradition of excellence without compromise.

  • De Cecco gently grinds the heart of each grain, mixes it with cold spring water, then kneads the dough slowly. This results in pasta with the exceptional de Cecco aroma, flavor, and consistency. Pasta easily cooks to perfection, has a great firm texture, and a delicious “fresh” pasta taste. It has a rougher surface, which helps the sauce stick to it. Since 1886 we have liked our pasta to be bronze drawn and slowly dried because we like it to fall into the plate full of taste, rough and always "al dente". Even though our taste has not changed, as we feel the same love for tradition, we have continued to improve our production technologies. Make de Cecco pasta the secret ingredient for your most amazing dishes.Buon Appetito! Acini di Pepe (peppercorns) belong to the minute pasta family to be cooked in broth. This pasta shape was undoubtedly invented to stimulate the imagination of children who commonly eat this pasta in baby food and vegetable soups. It is shaped like peppercorns and is fun and appealing. It is especially good for preparing clear soups such as broths or consommé, enhanced with croutons or vegetables cut in julienne strips. This pasta can be used in thick creamy or velvety soups. Available in 16.0 oz pack.

The pasta holds its shape beautifully after cooking and has a nice, firm texture that's perfect for salads, casseroles, and creamy sauces. I appreciate that it cooks evenly without sticking together. The packaging was secure, and there were no broken pieces inside, which is sometimes an issue with other brands. One minor downside is that it takes slightly longer to cook than the instructions suggest for al dente, but it’s worth the wait. Overall, a reliable pantry staple I'll keep buying!

    De Cecco has a well-deserved reputation for quality pasta, and their Penne Rigate is no exception. From the moment you start cooking it, you can tell the difference. The pasta holds its shape beautifully and cooks up to a perfect al dente texture – it's firm with a satisfying bite.The ridges (rigate) are excellent for grabbing onto sauces, ensuring every bite is flavorful. Whether I'm making a hearty meat ragu, a creamy pesto, or a simple tomato sauce, this penne holds up wonderfully and coats evenly.While it might be a bit pricier than some other brands, the quality is worth it. The 16-oz package is a standard size and perfect for a family meal. If you appreciate pasta with superior texture and the ability to hold sauce well, De Cecco Penne Rigate is a fantastic choice. It elevates any pasta dish!

    I bought this bow-tie pasta on a whim, and it turned out to be a great choice. The texture is perfect—it holds its shape well after cooking and doesn’t get mushy. It pairs beautifully with creamy sauces or light veggie sautés. The packaging is sturdy and resealable, which is a nice touch for storage. My only minor complaint is that the cooking time was a bit longer than stated on the package. Still, the flavor and quality more than made up for it. I’ll definitely keep this pasta stocked in my pantry!

    Orrichette is my favorite pasta for soup. The name means little hats and the hollows hold the broth and De Cecco makes a very good pasta. It does not get soggy or fall apart after a day in the soup. My soups do not last much longer. I love soup so I make very good ones. As always, Bolo is much less costly than the stores. Sometimes I feel guilty that I am not supporting local business, but who can afford that anymore?
