Vesuviotti take their name from Mount Vesuvius, the iconic volcano overlooking the Bay of Naples. Their distinctive shape creates folds, ridges and hollows that make them especially effective at capturing thick sauces and small pieces of ingredients.
Pasta Cuomo produces its pasta in historic Gragnano using traditional bronze dies, which give the pasta a rough and porous surface, followed by slow drying to preserve texture and structure.
Durum wheat semolina, water. Contains wheat.
Perfect with rich tomato sauces, sausage ragù, seafood, eggplant, mushrooms or creamy cheese sauces.
Because of their sculptural shape, Vesuviotti are especially good with chunky sauces that can settle into the folds of the pasta.
Cook for approximately 10 minutes, or until al dente, and finish directly in the sauce with a little pasta cooking water.
