Mafalde Pasta Morelli 1860 250g

Mafalde is one of Italy’s most elegant pasta shapes, recognised by its long ribbon form finished with delicate ruffled edges. Originally dedicated to Princess Mafalda of Savoy, this pasta reflects Italian craftsmanship where beauty and functionality meet on the plate.

Wheat germ pasta is produced by reintroducing the most nutritious and aromatic part of the grain — the wheat germ — back into the semolina after milling. Normally removed during industrial processing to extend shelf life, wheat germ contains natural oils, vitamins, and flavour compounds that give pasta a richer aroma and deeper taste.

Produced by Pasta Morelli 1860, one of Tuscany’s historic pasta makers, this mafalde pasta follows traditional slow production methods that preserve flavour, structure, and digestibility. Unlike industrial pasta, Morelli enriches its dough with wheat germ naturally reintroduced after milling — a signature technique that gives depth of aroma and a slightly nutty character.

The waved edges are not only aesthetic. They are designed to capture sauce evenly across the entire ribbon. Rich ragù, slow-cooked tomato sauces, mushrooms, or seafood preparations settle naturally into the folds.
