Against any expectation, the Campofilone Maccheroncini has the shape of very thin spaghetti. It is made with premium wheat flour and an amazing amount of fresh eggs, ten for each kilo of flour. Is then worked only by hand and expertly cut into the thinnest fettuccine that can humanly be achieved. The Maccheroncini are then left to dry in special ventilated rooms.
The result is outstanding with any kind of simple sauce.This kind of pasta tends to soak up the sauce (with delicious effects) so it’s advisable to keep the condiment rather liquid.

Add minced meat, when brown add half a glass of white wine and let evaporate. Simmer with a can of peeled tomatoes and a glass of water. Buon appetito!
