Mezzi Paccheri Italian Pasta L' Oro Di Gragnano I.PG.P Protected

Mezzi Paccheri are inspired by the typical Paccheri from the Campania region. Paccheri is a traditional Neapolitan pasta which look like giant macaroni or, as some say, pieces of a cut-up garden hose! The word paccheri apparently actually comes from the ancient greek (“???” -all and “????” -hand) which is still used in the Italian language to mean a pat or a slap given with an open hand, but not in an aggressive way. Mezzi paccheri are half the size of the traditional ones. The thickness, and size of this cut of pasta and its ability to soak up sauces makes it ideal for serving with fish and shellfish sauces
