Originating in Abruzzo, spaghetti alla chitarra is derived from the Italian word for guitar, the “chitarra” is the tool used to make the pasta using strings resembling those of a guitar. Due to its square shape, Spaghetti alla Chitarra is best when paired with thicker sauces, such as a classic Bolognese.
Maurizio Artisan Pasta is produced from the finest durum wheat semolina in the Campagnia region of southern Italy. Pasta is carefully pressed through traditional bronze dies, resulting in a uniquely porous texture that allows maximum sauce absorption. Maurizio Alla Chitarra is also notably less prone to breakage as a result of the slow drying process. This time-honored process makes Maurizio Artisan Pasta unlike any other. Product of Italy.
