Long pasta is perfect for serving with thinner, less chunks or oil-based sauces, such as pesto, as they coat the length of the pasta. Each Buitoni pasta shape is made from 100% pure durum wheat, which contains more protein than ordinary wheat - giving the pasta its firm texture and golden colour. In Italy, pasta can only be produced with durum wheat - anything else is illegal!
Short spaghetti:
From the Italian word for 'strings', these long strands of pasta are most frequently used in one of the UK's family favourites - Spaghetti Bolognese. Spaghetti also works well with pesto as the oil based sauce gives a good covering of flavour. This product is also available as part of our express range which cooks within 5 minutes.

Long spaghetti:
The long spaghetti is nearly twice as long as standard spaghetti - a great way to add a little bit of interest to a meal!

Fettuccine:
Italian for 'little ribbons'. These strands of flat, wide pasta are wound into little 'nests' which open during cooking. Fettuccine is commonly paired with a rich creamy Alfredo sauce. Because of the flatter, wider strands, fettuccine is good with heavier creamy sauces.
