Description
Welcome to Siena!
If you are looking at the Tagliatelle a Matassa by Pastificio Morelli at the Bottega Senese, you are holding a small masterpiece of Tuscan craftsmanship.
The Excellence of Pastificio Morelli
Founded in 1860, the historic Antico Pastificio Morelli is renowned for a nearly unique secret: the inclusion of wheat germ in the dough. This element, usually removed during industrial milling, gives the pasta an intense aroma of toasted wheat and a distinctive, unmistakable flavour.
Characteristics of Tagliatelle a Matassa
Shape: Presented in the traditional “nest” (matassa) form, which protects the pasta’s porous structure and ensures even cooking.
Texture: Thanks to bronze drawing and slow drying, the surface is rough and porous, ideal for holding the rich sauces of Tuscan tradition.
Ingredients: High-quality durum wheat semolina and the precious wheat germ, which lightly tints the cooking water greenish and releases an enchanting aroma.
Chef’s Recommendation
To honour the shop that offers them, these tagliatelle pair perfectly with bold flavours:
- Cinta Senese Ragù: the perfect match with the local territory.
- Wild Boar Sauce: for lovers of intense, rustic flavours.
- Butter and Truffle: to enhance the delicate note of wheat germ without overpowering it.
An excellent choice to bring an authentic taste of Tuscany straight to your table.
