The spaghetti from Pastificio Artigianale Minardo in Ragusa, Sicily, are produced using the traditional method "trafilata al bronzo" (bronze drawn) and with a high proportion of handwork from durum wheat semolina, which is made from 100% organic, ancient Sicilian grain of the Russello variety.
Russello wheat is an old, traditional durum wheat variety from Sicily – bred not for high yield, but for flavor, robustness, and naturalness. While it contains no less gluten than modern varieties, its original protein structure differs significantly: the ratio of gluten fractions – especially gliadins to glutenins – is more balanced and less technologically optimized in Russello. Many people therefore report better digestibility, particularly those with sensitive digestion or non-celiac wheat sensitivity. Furthermore, Pastificio Minardo processes the Russello slowly and dries it gently at low temperatures – another reason why this pasta impresses not only with its taste but also with its excellent digestibility.Cooking time: ♨︎10 minutes

Packaging: ⚒︎ CellophaneSpaghetti originated in rural southern Italy, where pasta was traditionally made by hand with great care and dedication, rather than being industrially produced. The name spaghetti derives from the Italian word "spago" – string or twine – and describes the long, round shape of this pasta.
In Sicily and Naples, it was common practice to roll durum wheat dough into long, thin strands, which were then dried in the air or in the sun . Spaghetti were considered the pasta of the common people – simple in shape, but versatile in their use . They were an integral part of everyday cuisine, often served with tomato sauce, garlic, olive oil, wild fennel, or fresh herbs . Their popularity can be attributed, not least, to their ability to absorb flavors while simultaneously standing on their own as a distinct element on the plate.
Even today, spaghetti reaches its full potential when it is drawn from bronze , as is the case here. This gives it a slightly rough, porous surface to which sauces adhere perfectly.
