As a vegetarian<\/a> and a general lover of carbs, I eat a ton<\/em> of pasta. And when it comes to noodle shapes, I don\u2019t discriminate \u2014 whether the dish calls for spaghetti, penne, fettuccini, or farfalle, I\u2019m game. My only preference is that the noodles be fully cooked<\/a>. Or at least, it used to be. For a long time, I used to think \u201cal dente\u201d meant<\/em> fully cooked, until I learned that it actually refers to a firmer noodle texture. Horrified, I couldn\u2019t understand why anyone would voluntarily opt for that much chewing. Then, I went to an Italian dinner for which all the pasta dishes were cooked with noodles from the brand Rummo. If you\u2019re unfamiliar, this company\u2019s pasta is made in a way so that it\u2019s always al dente, even after a long cook time. (It also happens to be Stanley Tucci\u2019s go-to brand<\/a> for at-home cooking.) <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only did I thoroughly enjoy my dinner that evening, but I also subsequently found myself craving the firmer noodles. Fortunately, Rummo Italian Pasta is available on Amazon, so despite the brand\u2019s artisanal feel, it\u2019s super easily accessible. Of the noodle shapes I tried, I especially liked the classic spaghetti<\/a>. But my favorite was, by far, the rigatoni, which is conveniently available online in a pack of five<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Like I said, Rummo noodles will never feel completely cooked-through, and that\u2019s by design. For the rigatoni, the listed cook time is 11 minutes, but I\u2019ve boiled mine for up to 15 minutes, and they were still perfectly al dente afterward. This also means that your pasta will never turn out mushy or stuck-together. Your noodles<\/a> will always keep their shape, ensuring a restaurant-quality meal at home every time. What\u2019s more, Rummo uses a signature slow processing method when making the pasta, which gives it a \u201crougher\u201d surface that grips and absorbs sauce better. And, it\u2019s also just cool that Rummo was founded in Italy in 1846 and is still a family-run business to this day, so you really do get the authentic Italian experience when you cook with their products.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat is Rummo Italian Pasta?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
