Ditalini

12 oz -extuded pasta

Ditalini is a very little, short, tube-shaped pasta that is said to have originated in the Campania region of southern Italy. It is very popular in the cuisine of the entire south, including the island of Sicily.

The word ditalini translates to “very little thimbles” which is fitting because the shape of ditalini pasta resembles the sewing artifact. It is also tiny, small enough to be considered a pastina. Sometimes ditalini is called tubettini (little tubes). 

Great for soups and light sauses.
