Also known as: Agnesi Pasta Lunga, Agnesi long pasta, Agnesi spaghetti N° 3
Agnesi's long dry pasta range made from semolina of Italian durum wheat: spaghetti, spaghettini, linguine, trenette and bavette.
Agnesi Pasta Lunga is the long dry pasta range of the Agnesi brand. According to the official site it is made from durum wheat semolina; the wheat is grown and milled in Italy within a supply chain of 193 farms in central and southern Italy, mainly in Umbria and Apulia. The pasta is drawn through bronze dies, which give it a rough surface.
The range has five numbered shapes: spaghetti N° 3, thinner spaghettini N° 2, flat linguine N° 10, trenette N° 11 and bavette N° 9. Spaghetti N° 3 cook in 11 minutes, or 9 minutes for al dente. Linguine, trenette and bavette are flat long shapes common in Liguria, where the brand comes from.
Long pasta suits sauces that coat the strands evenly: tomato sauces, olive oil sauces, seafood and pesto. The range belongs to dry durum wheat pasta and is sold in 500 g packs, with spaghetti also in 1 kg packs.
