La Fabbrica Della Pasta Mezzi Paccheri Rigati #550 is an authentic Pasta di Gragnano I.G.P., produced in Gragnano, Italy using traditional artisan methods. Crafted with premium Italian durum wheat semolina and pure local water, then shaped through bronze dies and slowly dried, this pasta develops a rough surface and firm al dente bite.

The mezzi paccheri cut features wide, short tubes with ridges that capture sauces inside and along the exterior. Its generous structure makes it especially well suited for hearty meat ragù, seafood sauces, and oven-baked preparations where texture and sauce retention are essential.

This is a premium artisan pasta rooted in Southern Italian tradition and certified geographic authenticity.

Pair with rich meat or sausage ragù
Excellent with seafood or tomato-based sauces
