The Sicilian Deli is known for its stock of authentic Sicilian products. This Penne Rigate is made from "grani antichi" (ancient grains) cultivated in Sicily for millennia. The pasta is known for its robust flavor, high protein content, and superior nutritional profile. The production process involves pressing the dough through copper plates, creating a uniquely rough, porous texture that allows sauces to cling better. This pasta not only offers a more flavorful and satisfying dish but also provides health benefits, including higher fiber content and potentially easier digestibility due to lower gluten levels compared to modern wheat varieties.
ABOUT THE MAKER
The Sicilian Deli is a local delicatessen based in South-East London stocking a range of fresh, authentic Sicilian and Italian food and produce. Key to their range is their own-brand pasta sauce, which uses tomatoes grown by friend and farmer Salvatore, in a small village in Sicily. Cooked the traditional way; the result is a rich and characterful flavour profile that is reflected throughout the deli’s product range.
