Pastina is a small, dry Italian pasta made from durum wheat semolina that is shaped like tiny stars (the traditional cut for this type of pasta). Its name means, little pasta, and is a favorite choice when making dishes for children. These pastas are made strictly using bronze dyes. This gives its surface a rough texture, which is both beautiful to see and nice to feel. It also allows the pasta to grow and better absorb sauces, enhancing the tastiness of every recipe. The slow, low-temperature drying process makes the pasta tastier and more fragrant during cooking. The best quality choice semolina, along with strict control of hygiene and health standards, guarantee the absolute genuineness of these products.
