Lagane Pasta

Description

Weight: 500g

Our handmade, artisanal pasta in traditional shapes and sizes is bronze die cut, dried at low temperatures and made in Cosenza in Calabria. 

Lagane are cut in the shape of a short, wide ribbon, similar to Tagliatelle but thicker, wider and shorter. Lagane is an ancient word which most historians agree is likely to be the origin of the modern Italian word Lasagna. This type of pasta is generally handmade and difficult to find in supermarkets. Lagane generally accompany chickpeas in most parts of Southern Italy. In Calabria the dish is known as Lagane e cicciaro (dialect for Lagane e ceci) and calls for dried chickpeas soaked overnight but of course can be made with the tinned variety if you are short on time.
