Festive Feast

Pastificio dei Campi is located in Gragnano, an exceptional place for pasta production, where industrial development has led to the loss - partial at least - of the magic linked to the art of this white gold. Our firm aims to restore and sustain the tradition of Gragnano pasta IGP, and seeks to do this in a way that respects craftsmanship and traditional production methods, allowing the raw ingredients and stages of production all the time they need to create a pasta of the very highest quality, the best pasta ever.

Vermicelli is one of the most ancient Neapolitan pasta shapes, so much so that once upon a time pasta-makers were known as vermicellari. A document dated 1284 attests to their sale, while the first published recipe probably dates back to the 15th century, in the "Libro de arte coquinaria" (1464-65), by the celebrated Mastro Martino. The name refers to their shape, reminiscent of small worms (vermi).

Wider than linguine, the name of this shape comes from its resemblance to the strips used for the hems of clothes. Fettucce are ideal with meat-based sauces, or with shellfish.

A much-loved shape used all over the Italian peninsula but originating in Liguria. Linguine go very well with Genoese pesto or with fish or shellfish-based sauces. A classic Gragnano dish is linguine with clams.

Spaghetti is the dried pasta shape par excellence and emblem of the Neapolitan table. The name comes from their shape, similar to a thick piece of string (spago). The first reference to spaghetti is found in the Vocabolario Domestico by Giacinto Carena (1846), where it is listed alongside "capelloni, spilloni e vermicelli"; a few years later it appears in the famous Dizionario Tommaseo-Bellini, published in 1861-1879.
