Perfect Pasta for Families

De Cecco's pasta-making process begins with the gentle grinding of the heart of each grain, followed by the mixing with cold spring water and the slow kneading of the dough. This meticulous approach results in pasta with the exceptional aroma, flavor, and consistency that is synonymous with the de Cecco brand. The pasta cooks to perfection, boasting a great firm texture and a delicious "fresh" pasta taste. Its rougher surface helps the sauce to adhere more effectively. Since 1886, de Cecco has preferred to bronze draw and slowly dry their pasta, as they believe this method allows the pasta to fall onto the plate full of taste, rough and always "al dente."

Despite the enduring love for tradition, de Cecco has continued to improve its production technologies, ensuring that the quality of their pasta remains uncompromised. Make de Cecco pasta the secret ingredient for your most amazing dishes. Buon Appetito!

Lasagna is one of the oldest forms of pasta recorded, with its origins dating back to the Latin term "Lagana" (derived from the Greek "laganon": a large, flat sheet of pasta cut into strips) and the term "Lasagna" likely emerging after the year 1000 AD. The widespread use of the term "Lasagna" can be found in the works of renowned 12th-century Italian poets, such as Jacopone da Todi, who stated, "a peppercorn beats lasagna for virtue," and Cecco Angiolieri, who warned readers, "He who makes lasagna with another's flour / his castle will have no walls or moat."

Lasagna has long been one of the most well-known and popular types of pasta in Italian cooking, with the simplest and most commonly used recipe calling for a ragù, béchamel, and parmesan, although mozzarella has also been introduced more recently. Delicious "white" versions with sauces made from mushrooms and vegetables are also quite commonplace.

The de Cecco spiral-shaped tube pasta is 100% Durum Wheat Semolina, made in Italy, with a cooking time of 24 minutes. It is shaped through Bronze Dies to create a rough surface that better retains the sauce, and it is slowly dried at a low temperature to preserve its nutritional properties. This pasta is GMO-free and Kosher.
