This pasta is made with durum wheat semolina and water, and its curled shape allows it to hold sauces better. Caserecce are often associated with rich and hearty sauces, such as those based on tomato, eggplant, or meat. There are various regional variants, but they all maintain the same characteristic of being rustic and flavorful.

Use in cooking

Caserecce can be used in both hot and cold dishes, such as pasta salads. They are particularly suitable for thick and creamy sauces that cling perfectly to their surface.

Preservation

It is advisable to store caserecce in a cool, dry place, away from moisture, to maintain their freshness and quality.

Curiosity
