Morelli Strozzapreti Pasta from Italy


Literally translated, this pasta means "priest strangler". While some say that a hostess would try to fill the priest up with this stuff so he didn’t eat all of the roast when it came through, others say it's just so good you cant stop eating it and thereby suffocate yourself with this pasta. Either way, that should be enough to convince you to try this Morelli Strozzapreti Pasta from Italy. Warning: Eat with caution!

While they’ve been making pasta since 1860, The Morelli family is currently run by the fifth generation siblings Lucia, Antonio and Marco. Using only the best durum wheat flour (semolina) using traditional techniques and the use of wheat germ -which is found inside the wheat grain and is a powerhouse of vitamins, proteins and oils -this is some of the highest quality and nutritionally valuable pasta on the market.


Best way to eat this pasta is to slow braise short rib and heave over a pile of strozzapreti.
