Durum wheat pasta with spinach and turmeric GOURMANTE, 500 g

"Foglie d'ulivo" means "olive leaves" in Italian. These macaroni try to replicate olive media leaves in both shape and color. This shape is often used to enhance the presentation of dishes and can be used in many ways in your recipes.

Hand-seasoned by Gourmante artisans from Southern Italy, the pasta is made only from durum wheat with an ideal gluten index and protein content that allows it to maintain its elasticity and al dente cooking, while preserving all the proteins, antioxidants, fibers and amino acids. The Gourmante range contains only authentic pasta shapes, made by machines that replicate the movements of the fingers, creating a unique texture and appearance that allows the product to come perfectly close to the pasta once created by Italian grandmothers.

Store in a clean, dry, cool place.

Pasta is a versatile and much-loved food that can be prepared in many ways to create delicious dishes.

Cooking:

- Boil a pot of water and add salt for seasoning.
- Add the foglie d'ulivo pasta to the boiling water.
- Gently stir to ensure that the pasta doesn't stick together.
- Follow the cooking time instructions on the pasta package for the desired level of doneness, about 8-10 minutes. Foglie d'ulivo pasta is typically cooked until al dente, which means it's cooked but still slightly firm to the bite.
- Taste a piece a minute or two before the suggested cooking time to check for doneness.
- Drain the pasta in a colander.

Serving:

- Once the pasta is cooked and drained, you can toss it with your choice of sauce.
- Consider using sauces that will coat the unique shape of the pasta and provide great flavor. Lighter sauces, like olive oil-based or tomato-based sauces, work well.
- You can also use cream-based sauces, pesto, or even a simple garlic and herb butter sauce.
- Add any additional ingredients you like, such as vegetables, meats, seafood, or cheese.

Presentation:
