Our legume pasta
The high protein content and artisanal processing, which involves drying on low temperature frames, are just some of the strengths of the Antico Pastificio Morelli's legume pasta . Available in sizes of 250 grams and perfect for making challenging recipes to win oven even the most difficult palates, this pasta is made with 100% legume flour from carefully selected Italian raw materials.
The assortment of Antico Pastificio Morelli includes the two variants: chickpea pasta and red lentil pasta. Both solutions are particularly suited for hyperprotein diets. Ideal for vegans and diabetics, they help maintain weight and therefore reduce the daily intake of carbohydrates. Thanks to this pasta, a source of vegetable proteins, it will therefore be possible to consume legumes in a different, simple and fast way. It is a particularly healthy, balanced product, whose raw material is naturally gluten-free, which is a valid alternative to the classic semolina-based variant.
In fact, legume pasta has a whole series of nutritional characteristics that are different from that of semolina, which make it lighter as it is low in carbohydrates and rich in protein. The high concentration of fibre also means it is very filling and this aspect makes it very suitable for healthy and balanced dishes.
Being pastas that contain 100% legumes, they are very popular for including vegetable proteins in your diet, all in a very simple way and with fairly short preparation times. We must also consider that thanks to these products the goodness of the legumes will be popular with children and with anyone who struggles to eat legumes in general in their original form. The legume pasta always ensures the palate a pleasant texture and the right level of porosity while also being very digestible.
Made only with artisanal methods, the legume pasta of Antico Pastificio Morelli stands out for high quality and has now become synonymous with Italian tradition. For this reason it is recommended for anyone who loves good food and eats only the best.
The chickpea strozzapreti and the red lentil fusilli are ideal to vary your daily diet as well as being a way to experiment with new combinations, flavours and recipes that will impress guests. It will be possible to give free rein to your imagination or simply to flavour in a not too elaborate way, for example with a simple fresh tomato sauce or with seasonal vegetables.
CHICKPEA STROZZAPRETI
The assortment of short pasta includes chickpea strozzapreti, which ensures a high supply of fibre and protein. Made from 100% chickpea flour, it can be combined with fish dressings, such as cod and squid.
RED LENTIL FUSILLI
Alternatively, Morelli offers red lentil fusilli, to be flavoured with simple sauces based on meat and/or vegetables. This pasta, which contains 100% red lentil flour, as for the strozzapreti, is recommended for anyone who needs to keep their blood sugar under control.
