Quality & Sourcing

Michele Portoghese Stelline is made from premium durum wheat semolina, sourced from Italy's best wheat fields. The pasta is extruded through traditional bronze dies to create its unique star shape, resulting in a rough texture that allows it to hold sauces and liquids more effectively. The pasta is then slow-dried at low temperatures to preserve its natural flavor, texture, and nutritional value. This process ensures that Stelline retains its firm bite when cooked, providing a satisfying and authentic Italian pasta experience.

Versatility

Michele Portoghese Stelline is an incredibly versatile pasta, especially well-suited for soups and broths, where its small, star-shaped pieces add both visual appeal and texture. It pairs wonderfully with light vegetable broths, chicken soup, or minestrone, allowing the flavors of the broth to shine through. Stelline can also be used in pasta salads, adding a playful element to both cold and warm preparations. Its delicate texture also makes it a great option for light, simple pasta dishes with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of Parmesan.
