This red wheat germ pasta has a spicy kick due to the inclusion of peperoncino chile.  The striking red color is naturally obtained by using beet powder.

Almost all other dried pasta’s semolina flour has had its germ removed.  The germ gives wheat a lot of flavor and vitamins, but also contains healthy fats which make it perishable.  Pastificio Morelli, a family run pasta business, has the 150 year artisanal expertise necessary to reintroduce the germ without compromising quality or shelf life, hanging their pasta by hand to slow dry in cool air over the course of 36 hours.

The wheat germ pasta they produce has a stronger, “wheatier” flavor than others…almost as if someone took your usual dried pasta and turned the volume up. 

Storage: Store peperoncino linguine in an air-tight container or bag kept in a cool, dry place.

Shelf Life: Up to two years unopened, several months once opened.

To prepare this pasta, boil it in a large pot of salted water until al dente (about 8-9 minutes).  Then drain off the water and toss it with your favorite sauce.

Peperoncino pasta has a robust flavor that can stand up to stronger sauces.  Meat sauces are a particularly good pairing, but it can be used with any sauces that work well with spicy heat.
