MARULOCassarecce, Italian Pasta Bronze Die Cut Artisan, Italian Pasta, Only 2 Ingredients,100% Durum Semolina. Imported Italian Pasta (1.1 Pound). Pasta from Campania.

The product was excellent, but package was slightly crushed. Since it is a sturdy pasta it didn’t crush it. We really enjoyed it and I ordered another box.

This review is for Marulo, Cassarecce, Italian Pasta Bronze Die Cut Artisan, durum wheat semolina pasta, 1.1 pound (500g, 17.6 oz). As received, this pasta comes in a clear bag inside a fancy box with a cover that opens upward and is gold metallic foil lined - this is a beautiful presentation when opening or if giving as a gift. This packaging fits with its premium price and protects the pasta. On the other hand, the box is larger than needed to fit the volume of pasta inside and the box construction is more complex than a typical box – this seems wasteful and makes it more difficult to store. The pasta itself tastes excellent with a slightly chewy texture, typical of bronze die cut Italian pasta. Like most Italian pasta, it may take a bit longer to cook. The rougher die cut surface holds sauce well. The cassarecce is ~2" long pieces of folded over pasta. They expand upon cooking to be quite a bit larger. Useful for main dishes, eg, with marinara or as substitute for ziti in baked ziti, or in pasta salads, eg, antipasto pasta salad.

Marulo Casarecce is a delicious pasta that tastes just like pasta you would find at an upscale Italian restaurant. The 17.6oz box looks like a present as when I opened it, I found the pasta bagged and the inside of the box a shiny gold color. This pasta would be perfect to include in a homemade gift basket for a loved one. The manufacturer notes that it takes 9 minutes to cook but it took about 12 minutes for the pasta I received to reach al dente. Once cooked, the pasta is delicious with a fantastic texture where the sauce clings to the Casarecce beautifully. The Casarecce is made with clean ingredients and extruded through a bronze die which adds additional texture to the pasta allowing any sauce it is paired with to cling to it. The ingredients of the lovely artisan pasta include durum wheat semolina and water. The manufacturer noted that the product may contain traces of soy and mustard. If you have an allergy to these foods, please be aware. There are 9 servings per box. Each 2oz serving contains 200 Calories, 1g Total Fat, and 8g Protein. It is a Product of Italy. I love this pasta and will definitely add another to my Amazon cart.

The Marulo Italian pasta is a thick and heavier pasta than we are normally used to eating. I am not sure of the type of pasta it is though; I know of spaghetti, linguini, macaroni and others but don’t know what cut they call this.Normally pasta is made with 4 basic ingredients that include flour, eggs, olive oil and salt. This pasta is made, and hand bagged in Italy with only 2 ingredients, 100% Italian durum wheat and semolina. This pasta, due to its thickness, took some time to cook but it turned out very well. I used it in a recipe with salmon that calls for pasta, and it turned out great. We could not tell that the pasta was made from wheat.Overall, this pasta is very good. The price point is a bit high, but this pasta would be used for gourmet type meals like the one I made with pan seared salmon, not your basic spaghetti and meatballs type meal.

We love Italian food so when I had the chance to try this, I figured why not. Note while I did receive the product for free, I do have to pay income taxes on the full value of it. My review is based solely on the product itself, nothing more.This is a more refined, authentic Italian pasta than the typical store bought brands. I noticed the difference both in its taste (which was better) and its texture. It does take longer than cheaper pasta brands to cook al dente. But it tastes better, The shape of this pasta is unique and hearty and we paired it with a nice marinara sauce and the dish tasted very good. We usually eat pasta once a week and this is a good product with more of a homemade flavor. We would recommend when you are looking for an upscale pasta dinner

This Manulo Cassarecce Italian Pasta is made in Italy and would make a lovely housewarming gift or something to bring to a family dinner. The instruction recommends cooking the pasta for nine minutes, but it is a hearty pasta and I found that with nine minutes of cooking, the pasta is still more al dente than I would normally eat it. I cooked it an additional two minutes and it came out perfectly for my taste.There are nine, two-ounce servings in the package. I measured out two ounces of pasta and it came out to 38 pieces. It doesn’t sound like much, but it did fill the palm of my hand, and I was plenty full after just one serving of the pasta with sauce.I served the pasta with a hearty beef and pork Bolognese sauce topped with a whipped ricotta. It paired wonderfully with this dense pasta.
