Mista corta is a mixture of small pasta shapes. It goes back to the ancient habit of Neapolitan families to save leftover pasta and combine them into a soup or a vegetable or legume dish. These days the shapes are carefully selected to guarantee that their cooking time is exactly the same. Use them in vegetable soups or combine them with beans or chickpeas in a dish, they will give you a memorable experience.
The selected semolina wheat used in this pasta is strictly of Italian origin and of the best quality, including the Senatore Cappelli variety which is renowned for cooking to al-dente. It also gives the pasta a golden color. Bronze cut pasta molds create a rough and porous texture much like homemade pasta. The low temperature drying method known as cirillo preserves the distinct texture and aroma.
