## Overview

De Cecco Cavatappi No. 87 is an authentic Italian pasta made from high-protein durum wheat and crafted using a traditional slow-drying process that preserves flavor and texture. Its distinctive corkscrew shape is designed to capture sauces perfectly, making it versatile for a wide range of recipes. With a legacy dating back to 1886, this pasta delivers a firm, al dente bite and a rich, fresh taste that stands out in any dish.

## Description

De Cecco gently grinds the heart of each grain, mixes it with cold spring water, then kneads the dough slowly. This results in pasta with the exceptional De Cecco Aroma, flavor, and consistency. Pasta easily cooks to perfection, has a great firm texture, and a delicious “fresh” pasta taste. It has a rougher surface, which helps the sauce stick to it. Since 1886 we have liked our pasta to be bronze drawn and slowly dried because we like it to fall into the plate full of taste, rough and always "al dente". Even though our taste has not changed, as we feel the same love for tradition, we have continued to improve our production technologies. Make De Cecco Pasta the secret ingredient for your most amazing dishes.Boon appetite!

Review: Real pasta for a great value! - This pasta is delicious and taste fresh from the box way better ingredients than most pastas that feel slimy and slippery. This actually taste like pasta that I will remember as a kid they’re drying process is part of the biggest reason why it taste so good and the texture is perfect. This is the only pasta I will be buying moving forward. Check the labels on the other pastas they’re mostly plastic.
Review: De Cecco Orecchiette No. 91 Pasta - De Cecco Orecchiette No. 91 is one of my absolute favorites, especially for soups. The small, ear-shaped pieces are perfectly designed to cradle broth and catch vegetables or bits of meat in every bite. They don’t get lost in the soup and make each spoonful feel hearty and satisfying. What really stands out is the quality. Like other De Cecco pastas, it’s made with high-quality durum wheat semolina and holds its shape beautifully. Even after simmering in soup, the orecchiette stay pleasantly al dente instead of turning mushy. The size is just right—not too big, not too small—and it adds great texture without overpowering the other ingredients. Whether it’s a simple vegetable soup, chicken broth, or a bean-based soup, this pasta elevates the whole dish.

I love this pasta! Good quality, reasonably priced. My new favorite pasta shape for just about anything! Tastes and texture what you would expect in a pasta. Cook time is about 12 minutes. Pasta holds onto sauces like a champ. Would recommend to anyone who hasn't ever had "God's Thumbnail".
