Ingredients & dietary info
Full ingredients: Organic durum wheat semolina, water.
Creste di gallo are ridged, curved tubes with a ruffled crest along the back, made in Bari, Puglia, from organic durum wheat semolina and water. The hollow center and frilly edge catch ragù and cheese sauces. A 17.6 oz bag cooks in about 7 minutes.
Creste di gallo means rooster's crest. Each piece is a curved, ridged tube, a bit like an elbow, with a ruffled crest running along its back. A popular story links the shape to the Medici of Florence, though no one can say for sure.
Whatever its history, the shape is a hard worker. The hollow center fills with sauce, the ridges grip it, and the crest catches cheese and small pieces of meat. Ours are bronze cut in Bari and dried slowly so they hold up in a bubbling baking dish.
For an easy and very cheesy dinner, bake creste di gallo with our Alfredo sauce, or toss it with our cacio e pepe sauce.
A crowd-pleasing baked pasta. The ruffled crests turn golden and crisp on top while the tubes stay creamy inside.
Stir in some cooked peas or crisp pancetta before baking if you like.
