Bring the character of traditional Italian pasta to the table in minutes with Surgital Pastasì Strozzapreti Express.

Strozzapreti are a distinctive hand-twisted pasta shape associated with the cooking traditions of Emilia-Romagna and Central Italy. Their irregular, gently rolled shape gives them an excellent ability to hold sauces, making them particularly suited to rich ragù, creamy sauces, pesto and rustic vegetable preparations.

This Express version is made with durum wheat semolina and egg, then pre-cooked and frozen to provide speed, consistency and excellent portion control in professional kitchens.

Simply cook briefly in boiling water or finish directly in a pan with your chosen sauce.

Frozen for freshness and convenience.

Ideal for restaurants, cafés, caterers and busy home cooks looking for authentic Italian pasta with considerably reduced preparation time.
