Organic Whole Wheat Timilia Penne Rigate

A 100% organic Timilia pasta, the result of an entirely Sicilian supply chain that follows the grain from cultivation to extrusion. Timilia, also known as Tumminia, is an ancient short-cycle durum wheat variety already present in Sicily during the Greek era: a true jewel of Sicilian agriculture. Stone milling preserves the wheat germ intact, rich in vitamins and trace elements, while bronze drawing gives the surface that characteristic roughness which, combined with the shape, perfectly holds any sauce. Slow drying at low temperatures and the delicate quality of Timilia gluten ensure excellent digestibility: a pasta that does not feel heavy and does not cause bloating.

Wholemeal semolina of ancient Timilia* (Tumminia) durum wheat, stone-ground, and mineral water. Nothing more.
*from organic farming – Antichi Granai supply chain, Sicily

Cook the penne in plenty of salted water following the cooking times on the label, drain them al dente, and toss them directly in the sauce with a ladle of cooking water to enhance their creaminess. As this is whole wheat pasta, it may require 1-2 minutes longer than white pasta. The intense flavor of the Timilia wheat, combined with the ridges on the pasta, makes it perfect for penne all'arrabbiata, Sicilian-style meat ragù, pasta alla Norma, sausage and wild fennel, pasta 'ncasciata, baked timbales, or a sauce with black olives and Pantelleria capers. To complete your pantry, pair it with Sicilian tomato purée or organic chickpeas and lentils.
