Giuseppe Cocco Casereccia #A81 is an artisan short pasta crafted in Italy using traditional bronze-die extrusion and slow drying. Made from premium Italian durum wheat semolina, this pasta develops a slightly rough surface and resilient structure that captures sauces beautifully.

The casereccia shape features a loosely twisted, open profile that allows sauces to cling inside and along the exterior. This makes it especially well suited for pesto, vegetable-forward sauces, and rustic meat or tomato preparations where texture and sauce distribution are key.

This is a versatile Italian pantry pasta that delivers consistent performance and classic craftsmanship.

Pair with pesto or herb-based sauces
Excellent with vegetables or rustic tomato sauces
Serve with light meat ragù or sausage-based preparations
