DeCecco selects the best durum wheat produced in Italy and premium spinach leaves to guarantee a top quality pasta with a unique taste and perfect firmness when cooked. DeCecco spinach pasta is processed with "coarse" grain wheat to preserve all the gluten and obtain a "sweeter" taste. The use of tender spinach leaves mixed with only water and "coarse" grain semolina guarantees that pasta holds its shape during cooking and retains the unmistakable taste of spinach.
DeCecco Spinach Linguine is excellent with butter and sage, or combined with fresh tomato based sauces, with vegetables and aromatic herbs, or quick, spicy sauces prepared with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, red pepper, anchovies and capers. It's also ideal with sauces made with shellfish and seafood and with "white" sauces prepared with cream, mascarpone, soft or melting cheeses with the addition of spices such as saffron, horseradish, curry and ginger.
DeCecco has been committed to creating quality pasta without compromise since 1886, using the same traditional processing methods that were established 130 years ago. Pasta is created using coarse-grain semolina, cold mountain water, bronze drawn plates, and a traditional slow drying process to ensure a superior quality pasta.
