About Casarecce
You could say that casarecce is an artistic reinterpretation of a narrow, twisted rolled tube. Its name means “local, homemade” and was invented on Sicilia Island, making it the traditional pasta for the popular Sicilian pesto dishes. The pasta is often used with meat sauces and works well in a variety of casseroles. With its “S” shape, it holds sauce ingredients prey, and isn’t that what pasta as a vessel is all about? Try Pasta with Simmered Veal Shanks or Pasta with Pancetta Tomato Sauce
