Sogno Toscano Organic Whole Wheat Strozzapreti is a traditional Italian pasta made with organic whole wheat semolina, giving the pasta a more rustic texture, nutty flavor, and higher fiber content compared to regular white pasta. Strozzapreti is a classic hand-twisted pasta shape from Central Italy, especially Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, and Umbria, designed to hold sauces well in its twists and grooves.
Sogno Toscano is a Tuscan brand focused on authentic Italian products, particularly traditional Tuscan ingredients such as olive oil, truffles, sauces, and artisanal pantry staples. Their pasta products emphasize organic ingredients, traditional Italian shapes, and authentic regional recipes.
The name strozzapreti literally means “priest stranglers” in Italian, and according to Italian folklore, the name comes from the idea that priests loved this pasta so much they would eat it too quickly.
This whole wheat strozzapreti has a hearty texture and is especially good with thicker, rustic sauces.
It pairs especially well with:
• Tomato sauces
• Meat ragù
• Sausage sauces
• Mushroom sauces
• Pesto
• Olive oil and vegetables
• Cream sauces
• Cheese sauces
• Lentils or beans
Rustic, hearty, and traditional, this organic whole wheat strozzapreti is a classic Central Italian pasta shape that works beautifully with rich sauces and simple Italian cooking.
