Toasted breadcrumb-like pasta pieces. Fregare means "to rub," and this fregola pasta is made by rubbing coarse semolina pasta and water together to create crumbs. The crumbs are then toasted, which imparts a rich, earthy flavor to the pasta. The pasta is cooked a little like rice, with an excessive amount of water that is allowed to evaporate during the cooking process. An authentic Sardinian recipe is included on the bag of pasta.This small pastamaker in Sardegna, Italy's second largest island, is operated by two brothers-in-law who are committed to making pasta in the traditional style. With the help of their families, the brothers make pastas that are unique to Sardegna.Our products, which range from artisan olive oils and balsamic vinegars, to rustic pastas and sauces, are carefully selected to represent the quality and diversity of Italy's 20 regions.
