Ruvidelli

Ruvidelli is a type of short, ridged pasta known for its versatility and ability to hold sauces effectively. The name "ruvidelli" comes from the Italian word "ruvido," meaning "rough," referring to the pasta's textured surface. This texture, achieved through the use of bronze dies in the pasta-making process, allows sauces to cling beautifully, enhancing the flavor of the dish.

Ruvidelli is short and often shaped like small tubes or twists, making it suitable for a variety of dishes. It pairs particularly well with rich or hearty sauces such as ragù, creamy cheese sauces, or vegetable-based condiments. Its texture also makes it an excellent choice for pasta salads or baked casseroles.
