100% Durum Wheat Semolina.
From Gragnano near Naples in Italy.
Suitable for Vegetarians.
Garofalo has been making pasta for over 300 years in Gragnano near Naples in Italy, the home of pasta. Made from 100% robust desert durum wheat and shaped using a bronze dye gives Garofalo pasta its premium taste and texture.
Probably the most popular and most simple pasta shape in the world! Spaghetti originates in Naples, where Garofalo pasta is made. Spaghetti is the plural form of the Italian word spaghetto, meaning "thin string" or "twine. Traditionally, most spaghetti was 50 cm (20 in) long, but shorter lengths gained in popularity during the latter half of the 20th century and now spaghetti is most commonly available in 25-30 cm (10-12 in) lengths. The Garofalo traditional spaghetti is 20.5 inches long and wrapped in attractive paper for the full traditional look. Along with a classic bolognaise sauce, seafood is a popular combination with spaghetti.

Ingredients for 4 people:
400g Garofalo spaghetti,
250 g loin of swordfish finely diced,

½ tea spoon anchovy paste,
30 ml extra virgin olive oil,

30 ml white whine.
Method:
In a small food processor blitz all herbs and capers to a fine paste. Add the lemon juice (2 teaspoons) and 20 ml of olive oil and set aside. In a large frying pan, place the olive oil and the anchovy paste and the garlic and gently warm through until the paste is completely dissolved.
Add the finely diced swordfish, the herbs salmoriglio and simmer. Add the white wine and cook until the smell of wine has dissipated and the fish is cooked ( be aware this fish should only take a maximum of 2 minutes !

OMG tastes just like fresh pasta
This spaghetti pasta taste just like fresh pasta. If I had bought this in an Italian restaurant .I would have said it was fresh pasta. The pasta is deliciously good. I bought it in a half price deal but even a full price, is is worth the money. I have never bought dried pasta that tastes so good. I have bought several different types of pasta in this brand ,so lets hope the others taste as good.
best spaghetti
Im a massive fan of this brand. Ive tried many of their pasta products and they really do elevate meals to a higher level.
Proper spaghetti
Like you would eat in Italy. Nicely rough so the sauce coats each individual pasta strand which is what you want as a cook. Tastes gorgeous al-dente and also duro if that’s your preference. Yummy.
The best brand spaghetti 🍝
Excellent quality, tastes like proper homemade spaghetti. Even better when it’s on offer!
Lovely
Very good quality
Best pasta
Garafalo is the best pasta, so glad Ocado stock it. Since discovered it’s also the pasta my relatives in Italy use too so that’s a good sign.
