The pasta
Three shapes. One unmistakable note.
01 — Spaghetti
The everyday strand.
Long, bronze-cut, lightly verdant. Built for olive oil, butter, and brown-butter sage — anywhere the mate can breathe without competition.

- Cooks in 7 minutes

02 — Rigatoni
Ridges that hold a sauce.
Short, ridged tubes for braises and bakes. The yerba sharpens tomato, beef ragù, and aged cheese without bitterness.
