Rustichella d’Abruzzo Tuscan Pici Pasta 8.8 oz
Key Product Features
Rustichella d’Abruzzo Tuscan Pici are thick, rustic pasta strands inspired by one of Tuscany’s most distinctive traditional pasta shapes.
Pici resemble extra-thick spaghetti, with a substantial texture and satisfying al dente bite. The hearty strands are formed into elegant nests and are especially suited to rich sauces that can coat their generous surface.
Traditional handmade pici are associated with Siena, Val d’Orcia, Val di Chiana and other areas of southern Tuscany. This Rustichella d’Abruzzo version recreates their characteristic thickness in a convenient dried pasta format made with durum wheat semolina and water.
What Is Pici Pasta?
Pici are a traditional Tuscan pasta shape resembling very thick, hand-rolled spaghetti.
They are known for their:
rustic appearance;
thick and substantial strands;
firm, chewy texture;
ability to hold rich sauces;
traditional connection to Tuscan country cooking.
Fresh pici are traditionally rolled by hand from a simple dough. Rustichella d’Abruzzo offers a dried interpretation that preserves the long, thick shape while making it easy to store and prepare at home.

Serve them with a garlicky tomato sauce, slow-cooked meat ragù, porcini mushrooms or crispy breadcrumbs sautéed in extra virgin olive oil.
Rustichella d'Abruzzo is the italian premium brand of artisan pasta in 70 countries in the world.
In 1924 Gaetano Sergiacomo, maternal grandfather of the current owners Gianluigi and Maria Stefania Peduzzi and son of famous millers who worked in the Vestina area, decided to exit the family business, establishing the pasta factory "Pastificio Gaetano Sergiacomo" in Penne. In 1980 under the watchful and far-sighted eye of Piero Peduzzi, the Pastificio Sergiacomo becomes Rustichella d'Abruzzo, guaranteeing both quality and authenticity. The Peduzzi Siblings have concentrated their energies on creating the company's image and contributing to making the name of Rustichella d'Abruzzo as synonymous of international quality and excellence.
Since 1924 true family tradition, because to make a pasta is a family matter!
