today's pasta is better than yesterday's
Technological innovations have led to pasta that is more forgiving to under- and over-cooking, resulting in a higher level of consistency on the plate.
With stunt food, chaos cooking, and other media-driven disruptions on the rise, pasta remains a constant comfort. Customers don't need to know how to profitable it is, just how good it makes them feel.
Is Bronze Die always better?
Pasta extruded through traditional bronze dies is best for small-batch cooking. Its performance is more variable. Teflon-die pasta, like we have in the Villa Frizzoni® and Garofalo product lines, is the better choice for highly consistent and repeatable outcomes - no matter the number of guests you're serving at once.
dried pasta vs. fresh
