Its special wavy shape, which differentiates it from the traditional pacchero, is perfect for capturing and holding sauces and condiments, offering a unique texture and an intense taste experience.

The wavy pacchero and the pacchero are two very similar types of pasta, but they do have some differences. Firstly, the wavy pacchero is characterised by its spiral shape with oblique incisions on the surface, which allow it to better hold the sauce. The pacchero, on the other hand, has a more regular and smooth shape. Secondly, the wavy pacchero has a thicker consistency than the pacchero, making it ideal for rich and hearty dishes. Furthermore, the shape of the wavy pacchero makes it perfect for baking recipes, such as baked pasta. In any case, both types of pasta keep the history and tradition of Italian cuisine intact, and are an excellent choice for true pasta lovers.

Its origin dates back to the 19th century, when the city of Gragnano became famous for the production of high-quality pasta thanks to its geographical location and ideal climatic conditions for production.

The pacchero ondulato, with its characteristic wavy surface, is a particularly versatile pasta format suitable for a variety of sauces and dressings. Its shape allows sauces to be better retained, making each bite rich in flavour. This pasta format is perfect with fresh tomato sauce and basil, as the simplicity of the fresh tomato sauce, enriched with basil leaves, enhances the texture of the pasta. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese for a final touch; Bolognese ragù: The richness of the Bolognese ragù, with minced meat and tomato, goes perfectly with the wavy texture of the paccheri, creating a hearty and tasty dish; Seafood: A seafood sauce, such as prawns, squid and mussels, can transform the wavy paccheri into a refined dish. Add garlic, parsley and a pinch of chilli pepper to enhance the marine flavours; walnut and turmeric pesto for an original, bold flavour.
