HOW TO ENJOY
 
Start with bruschette & Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Serve the smoked onion bruschette on a platter with cubes of Parmigiano Reggiano and a drizzle of Classico extra virgin olive oil for an easy, flavour-packed antipasto.
Cook the pasta to al dente perfection
Boil the Senatore Cappelli paccheri and egg tagliatelle separately in plenty of well-salted water until al dente. Always keep a cup of pasta water to adjust the sauce.
Pair each pasta with its perfect sauce
Toss paccheri with the Tuscan ragù or rustic Molisano datterino sauce for a hearty main course.
Dress egg tagliatelle with Genoese pesto, loosening with a spoonful of pasta water and finishing with grated Parmigiano and a thread of EVOO extra virgin olive oil.
Finish with a drizzle of EVOO & Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
At the table, let everyone finish their plate with extra Parmigiano Reggiano shavings and a drizzle of Classico extra virgin olive oil.
Casual or special-occasion dinner
