TUSCAN RIGATINO

THIS PANCETTA IS CURED AND CAN BE STORED IN THE FRIDGE FOR 60 DAYS.

Also called pancetta, it is a typical cured meat from the Tuscan countryside included among the Traditional Italian Agri-Food Products. In particular, it is a typical product of Tuscan pork butchery (province of Grosseto) which can be consumed throughout the year. The soft and delicious taste of pork blends with the tantalizing flavor of pepper, creating a unique combination that will delight your palate. When cut, the slice presents an alternation of layers of intense pink meat and layers of delicious pinkish white fat, a delight that will melt in your mouth.

TUSCAN RIGATINO: HOW TO CONSUME IT

The first thing that comes to mind when talking about Tuscan rigatino is a nice plate of pasta carbonara . And in fact, although the traditional Roman recipe requires the use of bacon, the Tuscan rigatino also fits perfectly. We recommend adding a sprinkling of pecorino to better enhance the taste of the rigatino. Another typical dish in which rigatino is the protagonist is pasta alla Gricia : a variant of "cacio e pepe".

Another classic is Amatriciana , whose original recipe also in this case would require bacon. But we still advise you to try preparing it with a slightly seasoned rigatino, you will see that you won't regret it! It is better if you cut the Tuscan rigatino into fairly large pieces to obtain a fuller flavour.

If very seasoned, Tuscan rigatino is excellent to be enjoyed in thin slices on Tuscan bread . Even on toast accompanied by a slice of pecorino cheese warmed in the oven it is delicious. If you are a fan of the English breakfast, there is no better way to start your day than with a Tuscan rigatino accompanied by scrambled eggs!

If, however, you want to move away from the classics and make an impression with a refinery, this is the recipe for you. But don't worry, you don't need to be a starred chef. This is a dish that is as Instagrammable as it is easy to prepare. Cut the rigatino into thin slices and wrap it around the prawn tails . Then place everything on a pan over high heat and fry until the rigatino is crispy. Add some Brandy and you're done!
