£9.49 / 1kg paper bag
The strand that tests everything.
Spaghetti is the purist's pasta. No shape to hide behind, no fold to catch sauce — just the grain, the water, the extrusion, the drying. If the wheat isn't exceptional, you'll know. If the milling isn't fresh, you'll taste it. There is nowhere to hide in a strand of spaghetti.
Ours is stone-milled from heritage wheats grown in the UK. The bran and germ stay in — we don't strip them out for a whiter product. That's why it's darker than supermarket spaghetti. That's why it tastes of something.
Texture & flavour: Clean wheat flavour with depth — slight nuttiness, clean finish, none of the grey flatness of commodity pasta. Holds al dente longer than industrial pasta. Doesn't clump.
Cook it: Heavily salted water. Don't break the strands — let them soften into the pot. Pull at al dente, finish in the pan with the sauce. Aglio e olio, cacio e pepe, or a long-cooked simple tomato or my Fav in the late summer chopped warm cherry toms, garlic and salt. The grain does the work.
If you only buy one 1kg bag this month, make it this or the Casarecce. Then buy both.
