Crafted with 100% Italian flour, Pasta Michele Portoghese Strozzapreti is a distinctive, hand-crafted pasta from northern Italy whose name, meaning “priest strangler,” adds a playful story to any meal. Known for its twisted, elongated shape, Strozzapreti is perfect for capturing rich, hearty sauces like ragu alla Bolognese or creamy mushroom sauces with dried porcini and a splash of Marsala. Leftovers can even be transformed into a delicious baked pasta dish.
Made with specially selected Italian durum wheat, Michele Portoghese Strozzapreti is crafted using traditional methods passed down through generations. The pasta is bronze drawn, giving it a slightly rough, porous surface that allows sauces to cling perfectly, delivering rich flavour in every bite.
Slow-dried for up to 120 hours at low temperatures, this artisanal process preserves the pasta’s natural taste, protein structure, and nutritional value. The result is a firm, resilient texture that holds its shape and cooks perfectly al dente, bringing the authentic taste of Italy to your table.
