Verrigni Semolina Chitarra 500g

Verrigni Semolina Chitarra — often labelled simply as chitarra pasta — is a distinctive Italian semolina pasta shaped to evoke the traditional “spaghetti alla chitarra” style. It’s a classic staple in Italian cuisine, made from high-quality durum wheat semolina and water and formed through artisanal processes that preserve flavour and texture.

Chitarra (literally “guitar” in Italian) refers to the unique, square-edged long pasta traditionally cut using a tool resembling a stringed instrument. The name comes from this tool’s tensioned wires that slice the pasta dough into strands with a subtle square cross-section — unlike round spaghetti — giving the shape a rustic texture that holds sauce beautifully.
