Dried pasta

Pasta makers since 1870

The story of Pastificio Ghigi starts in Morciano di Romagna, a village inland from Rimini at the centre of Valconca in 1870.

Nicola Ghigi was a baker who mixed selected durum wheat flour from Italian wheat with pure Apennine water and thus doing so founded his little factory, which has today become one of Italy's favourite pasta manufacturers.

How do you prevent over cooking pasta?

The first thing you need is a good pasta, but if you are trying a new brand for the first time, check the recommended cooking time and then knock at least 1 minute off. As you approach the required time check it and while it is still quite al-dente strain off the water. If you are adding a hot sauce this will always cook the pasta a little more and you can always return it to a little heat, but REMEMBER: it is always better to serve undercooked pasta than overcooked!
