Maccherone al Pettine from the Mirandola Valleys
The fundamental characteristic that differentiates the "Maccherone al comb of the Mirandola Valleys" from the generic ones and from the garganelli is the absence of the two "tips", since the square of pasta is rolled along the side taking the shape of a cylindrical macaroni, unlike of the other macaroni that are obtained by rolling the dough along the diagonal.
Product features
Maccherone al Pettine from the Mirandola Valleys stands out for a unique detail: the tips are missing! This pasta is made by rolling fresh egg dough around a wooden stick, unlike traditional methods that involve a diagonal shape. This technique creates a perfect cylinder, which is then delicately pressed with a comb to obtain a finely grooved surface. Each piece, cut into squares of 4/5 cm, becomes a culinary work of art thanks to the craftsmanship of skilled hands. The result? A unique maccherone with crosswise ridges that wonderfully capture the sauce, offering an unparalleled tasting experience.
Culinary Uses
Alongside the spread of maccherone al pettine, a series of ragùs have been created to further enhance the characteristics of this dish, mainly using meats from poultry and game. Ragùs with rabbit, rooster, pigeon, hare, pork ribs, and duck are made to accompany maccheroni al pettine.
