Morelli Penne with wheat germ - 500 gr

Morelli Penne, made with wheat germ, are ridged, making them ideal to hold tomato-based sauces. Try it with our Puttanesca!

The Antico Pastificio Morelli 1860 is the only producer in the world of this variety of pasta that takes full advantage of the virtues and benefits of wheat germ: the heart of the grain that has always been discarded in the food industry. In fact, during grinding, the highly perishable wheat germ (it decays in 48 hours) is removed from the grain to facilitate the conservation of the flour.

Pastificio Morelli has instead devised a process by which it is able to reinsert it into the dough. The wheat germ gives a more intense aroma and flavour to the pasta, it sublimates all its qualities.

During cooking, a marked smell of wheat is released and the water is slightly tinged with green. This is absolutely normal.
