What is Durum Wheat Pasta?

Durum wheat is a hard wheat variety prized for its high protein and gluten strength, ideal for pasta-making. L’Abruzzese starts with organic Australian durum semolina, mixes it with water, and shapes it using bronze dies—creating a porous texture that holds onto sauces beautifully. The pasta is then dried slowly to lock in nutrition and flavour.

Culinary Uses

Spaghetti is one of the most versatile pasta shapes. Use it in:

• Classic tomato-based sauces (like puttanesca or marinara)

• Creamy or oil-based sauces (like carbonara or aglio e olio)

• Simple dishes with herbs, lemon, and olive oil

• Stirred into brothy soups for extra heartiness

To cook: Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add pasta and cook for 8–10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and serve immediately.

FAQs

Is this pasta vegan and egg-free?

Yes. L’Abruzzese’s organic range is 100% vegan with no eggs, dairy, or animal-derived additives.

What makes bronze-die pasta different?

Bronze dies create a rougher surface on the pasta, which helps sauces stick better and improves mouthfeel. Most commercial pastas use teflon dies, which result in a smoother, less absorbent surface.

How should I store dry spaghetti?

Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry. Best consumed within 12 months of purchase.

Is durum wheat pasta suitable for people with gluten sensitivity?

No. Durum wheat is a gluten-containing grain and is not suitable for coeliacs or those with non-coeliac gluten sensitivity.
