Setaro Candele Lunghe is an exceptionally long, hollow tubular pasta made by Pastificio Setaro in Torre Annunziata, near Naples, Italy. Candele means "candles" in Italian, a name inspired by the pasta's long, straight shape, while lunghe means "long." Setaro's Candele Lunghe measures an impressive 60 cm, or nearly two feet long.
How to Use Setaro Candele Lunghe
Candele Lunghe is traditionally broken into shorter pieces before cooking, allowing you to choose the length you prefer. Its hollow center is excellent for capturing rich tomato sauces, meat ragù, sausage, and other hearty preparations. It also works beautifully in baked pasta dishes, where its substantial shape stands up well to sauce and cheese.
