Rustichella d'Abruzzo Pumpkin Torchio combines a distinctive torchio pasta shape with the sweet, earthy character of pumpkin for an especially seasonal Italian pasta. Torchio means “press” in Italian, and the sculptural shape features twists and folds that provide plenty of surface area for sauces to cling to. Rustichella d'Abruzzo, whose pasta-making heritage dates to 1924 in Penne, Abruzzo, brings its traditional craftsmanship to this flavorful specialty format. Pumpkin lends the pasta a warm color and gentle vegetal sweetness that pairs particularly well with autumnal ingredients. Serve with brown butter and sage, mushrooms, sausage, pancetta, walnuts, hazelnuts, or creamy cheeses such as Gorgonzola or Taleggio, finishing with Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino. Its combination of unusual shape and pumpkin flavor makes it an excellent choice for fall dinners, Thanksgiving menus, or an easy dish that feels more special than everyday pasta.
