Fontana FORMIELLO Fregula Sarda (24x500g)

Fontana FORMIELLO Fregula Sarda is a special variety of Sardinian pasta.

It stands out for the nutty flavour and the distinctive golden hue.

After cooking, it has a delicious “al dente” texture.

These tiny round shapes are beautiful in:

• meat-based soups
• seafood dishes with clams and shrimps.

Our Fontana FORMIELLO Fregula Sarda is made by shaping high quality durum wheat semolina and water through bronze dies, slow-drying it, and lightly toasting it.

This traditional process gives fregula its light brown colour and tasty flavour.

• Origins: Known as Arabic couscous, explorers from North Africa introduced Fregula to Sardinia, and it became a part of the local cuisine.
• Good to know:You can cook Fregula in boiling water like traditional pasta and toss it with a sauce. Alternatively, you can also prepare it like risotto by cooking it in the recipe’s broth.

Drain the fregula thoroughly after cooking in boiling water, then transfer it to a bowl and sprinkle a few drops of olive oil over it.

Toss the fregula to coat evenly and prevent the beads from sticking together as they cool.
