Close cousins of Cavatelli, coming from the coastal towns of Sardinia, these little ridged shells are traditionally served with fresh caught seafood. This versatile little shape is great in pasta salads, minestrone soups, mac'n'cheese and Trenchers Farmhouse Pesto.
Keep refrigerated - this is made fresh each week. Use within 6 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
We’re not a gluten free household but wanted to try these because we love Trenchers pasta and this shape looked interesting. What a quick, yummy dinner - we pulled out some frozen homemade sauce and this pasta only had to cook for 2 mins before a quick toss and coat in the sauce that was heated in the sautee pan. Keep it al dente and it’s perfect!
From John Patterson, executive chef at Shelburne Farms, Vt: “Trenchers Gluten Free Pasta is probably the best gluten free pasta that I have ever come across.”
Trenchers is not a certified gluten free facility. They do, however, have a gluten free food safety plan. They have dedicated gluten free extrusion equipment, and separate days of extrusion as well as daily tests to record the gluten per part per million. In this way they can be sure that their products comply with the FDA limit of 20 ppm for a “gluten-free” claim. Their gluten free pasta blend is a proprietary blend that allows the pasta to stay “al dente” and even taste delicious cold.
