Donna Itriya, Linguine Pasta, Organic, 500g

Donna Itriya Linguine is 500g of It made from certified organic grain — the flat, narrow ribbon pasta of the Ligurian coast, bronze-die extruded for a texture that suits seafood and herb preparations beautifully. Donna Itriya linguine is the pasta for seafood and Ligurian preparations. As a result, the organic grain contributes a slightly more pronounced, nutty flavour than standard semolina pasta. Furthermore, linguine’s flat shape suits lighter sauces where the pasta itself contributes texture. In particular, this suits classic Genovese preparations with pesto, clams and seafood where the flat strand carries the sauce.

About Donna Itriya Linguine

Donna Itriya is an artisan pasta maker. The name pays homage to the ancient Mediterranean word for pasta — itriya. In particular, Donna Itriya produces pasta from free-range eggs or certified organic grain. An ancient grain line draws on heritage wheat varieties. As a result, each pasta shape has a character and nutritional profile that a standard factory pasta cannot match. Furthermore, bronze-die extrusion gives every shape a rough, porous surface that grips sauce far better than smooth Teflon-extruded pasta. However, Donna Itriya pasta rewards tasting from 2 minutes before the packet time for the perfect result. In particular, the organic and ancient grain varieties have a more robust, nutty flavour that rewards simple, high-quality sauces. Additionally, all Donna Itriya pasta dries slowly at low temperature to preserve the natural flavour of the grain. That slow craft approach defines every shape in the range. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Donna Itriya Linguine From Us

Cooking artisan bronze-die pasta well rewards a few simple habits that transform the result. In contrast to mass-market pasta, artisan bronze-extruded pasta has a rough surface that absorbs and carries sauce in equal measure. As a result, you need less sauce per portion and the flavour integration is far superior. Furthermore, use a generous amount of well-salted water — pasta water is an ingredient, not just a cooking medium. However, reserve a cup of pasta water before draining as it finishes the sauce with starch and seasoning. In particular, finish the pasta in the sauce pan for the last minute of cooking. Never drain and plate separately. Moreover, artisan pasta rewards a shorter time in the water and a longer time in the sauce. Additionally, organic and ancient grain pasta has a more pronounced flavour. It rewards simple preparations where the pasta itself can be tasted. That technique — pasta water, sauce pan finish, rest — transforms any great pasta into something exceptional.

How to Cook Donna Itriya Linguine
