Dalla Costa Tricolour Christmas Pasta Shapes 500g

It may not be traditional Christmas fare but there’s no reason why your pasta can’t be festive! These fun Dalla Costa Christmas Pasta Shapes include presents, candles, holly and trees and are ready to eat in just 6-7 minutes.

Ideal for a starter on Christmas Day or for an alternative Christmas Dinner this distinctive tricolour pasta will certainly help set the festive scene and makes a fun foodie gift.

Fun to look at, fun to cook and even more fun to eat, Dalla Costa’s pasta shapes are a brilliant way to introduce your little ones to the joys of eating pasta. Made from only the finest durum wheat semolina, the intense colours of the red and green shapes are created by the addition of real tomato and spinach, while the pasta is dried slowly to ensure the shapes won’t turn to mush when they’re cooked – it’s a huge step up from the tinned alphabet spaghetti of our childhood… Hold it! Maybe we should just keep them for the grown-ups after all?

About Dalla Costa – the heart of Italian pasta

Based in Treviso, Italy, this famous family company was founded in 1993 by three brothers. They wanted to develop the skills they’d inherited from three generations of pasta makers before them, but to create a range of traditional, bespoke and novelty pasta shapes. Always made from the finest durum wheat pasta, coloured and flavoured with the finest natural ingredients, Dalla Costa pasta shapes are pressed through cast bronze moulds to produce sharply defined shapes with a surface texture that holds onto Italian pasta sauces with ease.

They pride themselves on using only the best quality ingredients: the finest Italian durum wheat semolina, the purest water (piped up from 90 metres below their factory) and the very best flavourings, and they have installed a huge range of photovoltaic panels on the roof of their factory to minimise their impact on the environment.
