Giuseppe Cocco Maltagliati #119 is a traditional Italian pasta shape whose name literally means “badly cut,” referring to its intentionally irregular form. Crafted in Italy using premium durum wheat semolina and shaped through bronze dies, this pasta offers a rough surface and hearty bite that excels in rustic preparations.

The uneven shapes cook evenly while providing varied texture in every bite, making maltagliati especially popular in soups, bean dishes, and simple tomato or vegetable sauces. Its artisanal appearance and sturdy structure give dishes a homemade, comforting feel.

This is a classic Italian pantry pasta rooted in tradition and craftsmanship.
