Key Product Features

Rustichella d’Abruzzo Strozzapreti are a traditional Italian short pasta shape distinguished by their rustic twists and pleasantly irregular texture.

The name strozzapreti literally translates as “priest stranglers,” a colorful name connected to several legends from Italy’s regional food traditions.

Each piece has an elongated, hand-rolled appearance with folds and twists that capture tomato sauce, ragù, cheese and small pieces of vegetables or meat.

Rustichella d’Abruzzo produces its pasta with bronze dies and slow, low-temperature drying. This traditional method creates a naturally rough surface that helps sauce adhere more effectively to the pasta.

Strozzapreti are short, twisted pasta strands traditionally associated especially with the cuisine of Romagna and other areas of central Italy.

Their irregular shape gives them:

a firm and substantial bite;
folds that trap sauce;
a rustic handmade appearance;
excellent versatility with both meat and vegetable recipes.

Strozzapreti are widely recognized as part of the traditional pasta culture of Romagna.

Durum wheat semolina, water

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!
