La Fabbrica Della Pasta Mezzi Paccheri Rigati al Nero di Seppia is an artisan specialty pasta produced in Gragnano, Italy using traditional pasta-making methods. Extruded through bronze dies and slowly dried at low temperatures, this pasta delivers a firm, elastic al dente texture that performs beautifully in both simple and elaborate dishes.

The wide, ridged Mezzi Paccheri shape is designed to hold sauces both inside the tube and along the exterior ridges. The addition of squid ink gives the pasta its distinctive black color and a delicate marine aroma that enhances seafood-based preparations without overpowering them.

Balanced, visually striking, and deeply rooted in Italian coastal cuisine, this pasta is ideal for elegant plates where flavor, structure, and presentation all matter.

Pair with shrimp, calamari, or shellfish sauces
Excellent with garlic, olive oil, and white wine
Finish with fresh parsley and lemon zest
