Filotea Spaghetti alla Chitarra 500 g – traditional egg pasta from Italy

Spaghetti alla Chitarra – Italian pasta tradition from the Marche

The  Spaghetti alla Chitarra from Filotea bring a piece of authentic Italian pasta culture to your plate. Manufactured in  Ancona in the Marche region, these special spaghetti are made using traditional artisan methods from carefully selected ingredients.

With  27% eggs, durum wheat semolina and fine type 00 wheat flour give them their characteristic taste and special consistency.

Unlike classic round spaghetti, Spaghetti alla Chitarra traditionally has a rather angular cross-section and a pleasantly rough surface. It is precisely this structure that makes them an excellent companion for sauces: they stick particularly well to the pasta and combine wonderfully with it.

Filotea – pasta like the Italian Nonna

Filotea represents the pasta tradition of the Italian region  Marche. The philosophy is based on the old recipes that Italian grandmothers used to make pasta at home  Nun – was manufactured.

The pasta is processed slowly and with great care. This is particularly important  gentle drying at low temperature. It helps to preserve the characteristic taste and texture of the egg pasta.

The result is an Italian premium pasta that is reminiscent of homemade pasta and absorbs sauces particularly well thanks to its rough, porous structure.

What does “alla Chitarra” mean?

The name of this pasta actually has to do with a “guitar.”

Traditionally, the rolled out pasta dough is pressed over a special tool with parallel wires. This historical kitchen appliance is reminiscent of the strings of a guitar and is therefore called a chitarra.

This creates the typical shape of Spaghetti alla Chitarra: long, slightly stronger and angular strands of pasta with a surface to which sauce can adhere perfectly

Perfect for strong Italian sauces

The Filotea Spaghetti alla Chitarra is extremely versatile. They harmonize particularly well with a classic ragù, a strong tomato sauce or sauces with meat.

Mediterranean combinations with tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and fresh herbs also go well.

If you like it particularly puristic, simply serve the pasta with a high-quality olive oil, a little garlic, Pecorino or Parmesan and freshly ground pepper.

Strong. Rough. Authentic. Spaghetti alla Chitarra like in Italy.
