CANDLES N.127

Candele Lunghe are a traditional pasta shape from southern Italy, historically widespread especially in the Neapolitan area, they owe their name and shape to the candles used during liturgical processions.

Candele, like Ziti and Zitoni, must be broken by hand into irregular parts before being placed in a pot for cooking.

Candles are excellent for making baked recipes.

They also go well with vegetable sauces, prepared with tomato sauce with olives and capers or enriched with courgettes, aubergines, peppers and any other vegetable.
