The name cassarecce refers to a type of short pasta originating from Sicily, characterized by its distinct twisted shape. These thick, hand-rolled tubes have a slight curve, and the edges are often pinched together, creating a sort of spiral. The design of cassarecce allows it to hold sauces well, making it ideal for pairing with chunky or creamy sauces. The pasta is often made from durum wheat semolina, giving it a firm texture that holds up well when cooked. Cassarecce is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, from hearty meat sauces to lighter vegetable-based ones. It is especially popular in Southern Italy, where it’s enjoyed in both traditional and modern recipes.
