Our egg pasta with wheat germ.
Globally Italy is known as the Bel Paese for its extraordinary historical, artistic and cultural heritage but also for the quality of its cuisine and food products. Since 1860 Antico Pastificio Morelli has operated with a symbol of Italianness: pasta. A product loved and appreciated at every latitude also because it combines with many raw materials such as fish, meat and vegetables. Nationally Pastificio Morelli offers a unique type of pasta: egg pasta with wheat germ.
The secret of the quality of the egg pasta proposed by Antico Pastificio Morelli lies in the use of an ingredient that is not found in common pasta, namely wheat germ. It is an element that is rich in vitamins and nutritive active ingredients. During cooking, an intense fragrance of wheat is given off and the water becomes a delicate green.
The preparation of egg pasta with wheat germ available in four variants of size, tagliatelle, tagliolini, straccetti and strozzapreti takes place with a handcrafted process, the result of a deeply instilled tradition. In fact, the Tuscan semolina-based product is enriched with the introduction of wheat germ and made into pasta with bronze drawing as a further guarantee of quality. Another optimal aspect of the craftsmanship is the drying which takes place at a temperature below 50 degrees for 36 hours.
The end result will be to have in the kitchen an egg pasta with a unique flavour ensuring an adequate nutritional intake, excellent consistency and a very short cooking time, which is certainly an advantage for anyone working in the catering sector.
Some of the most appropriate combinations for the flavour of egg pasta with wheat germ include with fresh truffle, tomato sauce and classic ragout.
