Filotea Lemon Fettuccine Artisan Egg Pasta

Description

Weight: 250g

These fragrant fettuccine are infused with the juice of lemons from Taormina in Sicily. Measuring about 1cm wide, these 'little ribbons' have a wonderful  citrus favour which doesn't however overpower. You can savour it well before the first bite, as the lemon essence reaches your sensory receptors before the taste explodes on your palate!
The serving suggestions for this pasta are numerous: white fish-based sauces, creamy sauces, artichokes and courgettes, or more simple seasonings such as olive oil, parsley and parmesan.

Filotea pasta is bronze drawn and slowly dried at low temperatures. Thanks to this process it is rough in texture and porous. It is this characteristic that sets this pasta apart, it can absorb sauces and flavours like no other pasta can. It is full-bodied enough to stand up to robust sauces and flavours and yet light enough to not over-shadow them.

Ingredients

Durum wheat semolina, eggs (30%), wheat flour (00 type), lemon (2%). May contain traces of molluscs and soybeans.
