DiSano’s Premium Pasta: Crafted for Excellence
DiSano’s premium pasta is made using the finest durum wheat semolina, offering a rich texture that cooks to perfection every time. The pasta is designed to hold sauces beautifully, providing a satisfying bite with every forkful. With a range of shapes and sizes, DiSano gives home cooks endless possibilities to experiment with different flavors and textures.
From traditional Spaghetti to unique shapes like Orecchiette and Fusilli, DiSano’s pasta collection caters to every taste and style of cooking. But it’s not just the quality that stands out – it's the brand’s commitment to producing authentic Italian pasta that brings the true taste of Italy into your home.
1. Spaghetti: The Classic Choice for Bold Sauces
Spaghetti is perhaps the most iconic pasta shape, and DiSano’s premium Spaghetti lives up to its reputation. This long, thin noodle pairs beautifully with a variety of sauces.
Perfect Pairing: A rich, tangy tomato basil sauce or a decadent Bolognese sauce complements the long strands of Spaghetti, allowing the sauce to cling beautifully to the pasta. For a lighter option, a classic Aglio e Olio (garlic and olive oil) is an aromatic and flavorful choice that enhances the simplicity of the Spaghetti.
Try it with: DiSano's Tomato Basil Sauce – a perfect marriage of fresh, sun-ripened tomatoes and aromatic basil for a truly authentic Italian flavor. Explore DiSano’s Premium Pasta Collection for more recipe ideas!
2. Fusilli: Twists of Flavor
Fusilli, with its spiral shape, is fantastic for holding onto thicker sauces. The twists of this pasta shape create a wonderful texture that works well with chunky or creamy sauces. Its unique shape allows for a satisfying bite and pairs perfectly with meatballs, vegetables, and even creamy Alfredo sauces.
Perfect Pairing: Creamy pesto or a hearty sausage ragu will fill every curl of Fusilli with bold flavor. The swirls also make it perfect for pasta salads, where a tangy vinaigrette dressing can get into every nook and cranny.
Try it with: A smooth, vibrant basil pesto sauce made from fresh basil, pine nuts, and Parmesan, or DiSano’s delicious Alfredo Sauce – a creamy, rich option that elevates Fusilli to new heights.
3. Penne: A Versatile All-Rounder
Penne is another pasta shape that shines in versatility. Whether you're creating a quick weekday dinner or a sophisticated dish for a dinner party, Penne can be used in a variety of ways. Its hollow, tube-like shape allows it to capture and hold onto both light and heavy sauces, making it an ideal choice for everything from classic pasta bakes to Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
Perfect Pairing: Try it with a creamy carbonara sauce, or for a lighter option, pair it with a fresh tomato and olive oil sauce. Penne also works wonderfully in baked pasta dishes like Penne alla Vodka Sauce, where the rich, creamy sauce coats the tubes and fills each bite with flavor.
Try it with: DiSano’s Alfredo Sauce or a hearty Tomato & Basil Sauce – both make Penne a perfect choice for any occasion.
4. Orecchiette: The "Little Ear" of Pasta
Orecchiette, which translates to “little ears,” is a traditional pasta from the southern regions of Italy. Its unique shape makes it ideal for pairing with chunky sauces, especially those with vegetables or greens. The small, cupped shape of Orecchiette allows it to hold onto a variety of ingredients, making it a favorite for rustic, hearty dishes.
Perfect Pairing: Orecchiette shines when paired with sausage and broccoli rabe, a traditional Italian dish. The ridges of the pasta scoop up the bitterness of the broccoli rabe and the richness of the sausage, creating a perfect balance of flavors.
Try it with: A flavorful Puttanesca sauce, full of anchovies, capers, olives, and tomatoes, is a bold choice for Orecchiette, bringing a punch of flavor that complements its unique texture.
5. Farfalle: Perfect for Salads and Lighter Dishes
Farfalle, also known as "bowtie pasta," is a playful and elegant shape that works wonderfully in both hot and cold dishes. Its pinched middle creates a unique texture, making it perfect for pasta salads or dishes that feature lighter sauces.
Perfect Pairing: Try Farfalle with a fresh lemon-basil pesto for a light, zesty dish that’s perfect for summer. It also works beautifully in creamy dishes, such as Chicken Alfredo, where the pasta’s shape adds an extra layer of interest.
Try it with: DiSano’s Pesto Sauce or a light Lemon Cream Sauce – the light and zesty notes of lemon will enhance the delicate texture of Farfalle.
6. Linguine: Ideal for Seafood Dishes
Linguine, similar to Spaghetti but slightly flatter, is a fantastic pasta for seafood dishes. Its texture allows it to pair wonderfully with delicate seafood like shrimp, clams, and mussels. Linguine’s flat strands also allow it to hold onto thinner, more delicate sauces like a garlic and white wine reduction.
Perfect Pairing: Pair it with a seafood marinara sauce or a lemon-garlic butter sauce. The gentle, fresh flavors of the seafood will shine when paired with the elegant linguine.
Try it with: DiSano’s Seafood Marinara Sauce – a tangy, tomato-based sauce loaded with fresh seafood that perfectly complements Linguine.
