5 x Penne Rigate Pasta 500g by The Yorkshire Pasta Company -
British Pasta
Brand: The Yorkshire Pasta Company
One of the all-time favourites: penne. We make our
penne ‘rigate’, meaning ridged, which helps this little guy hold
its shape and soak up sauce. ‘Penne’ comes from the Italian word
for quill and the angled end encourages even more sauce to be
scooped up. Safe to say this is one saucy fella. These
characteristics mean that this pasta is destined for a baked
masterpiece. Mass manufactured pasta takes two hours to make,
arriving as flour and leaving in a plastic bag. Ours takes two
days. We dry our pasta slowly overnight, at low temperatures,
allowing the dough to gently mature and develop flavour. As the old
saying goes, what you put in is what you get out, and the same goes
for the quality of flour and the resulting pasta. We source our
flour from a local mill, working directly with the miller, ensuring
superb quality grain with the desired attributes for our recipe.
The flour goes through strict quality checks at the mill, and each
batch is inspected by ourselves on arrival. We don’t use any eggs
in our recipes, so our pastas are all vegan. The drying process,
which is bespoke for each shape, removes excess moisture from the
dough and locks in delicious taste. This means that each piece of
pasta will stay scrumptious for up to 2 years. Just like the master
pasta makers ‘maestri pastai’ of Italy, we know that the only way
to achieve superior quality pasta is to press the dough through
bronze dies. Whilst industrial manufacturers have long since moved
to teflon dies to aid their high speeds, we stay true to tradition
and invest in old fashioned hard metal dies. Our dies create a
rough surface on every single piece, making the pasta perfect for
absorbing delicious sauces, elevating a meal from good to superb.
We worked very hard to be able to create our plastic free products.
Once produced, our pasta is placed in our specially developed paper
bags. These are 100% recyclable and each one is sealed by hand with
two of our signature metal fastenings. These fastenings make our
bags look good and more importantly help us avoid using plastic! We
only use water and locally milled wheat flour, of which 70% is
grown right here in Yorkshire, Humberside and Lincolnshire. This
means our products can be enjoyed by vegans and vegetarians. They
are also free from stabilisers and preservatives. Just flour and
water. Marvellous. About the Producer We are a small family
business based in Malton showing the difference between mass
manufactured supermarket 'pasta' and beautiful, sustainable,
artisan pasta! We combine artisan techniques with locally milled
wheat flour and sustainable paper packaging to create our premium
British pasta. Many industrial manufacturers have lost touch with
the traditional techniques, opting for rapid, high-throughput
methods. We want to take pasta back to basics, with no compromise
on flavour, making pasta slowly and authentically; this is
essential for enhancing the flavour of the grain and the pasta’s
ability to absorb sauces. Some say it even results in a more easily
digestible pasta.
