Setaro Gemelli is a twisted short pasta made by Pastificio Setaro in Torre Annunziata, near Naples, Italy. Gemelli translates to "twins" in Italian, referring to the pasta's distinctive appearance of two strands twisted together. Its intertwined shape creates curves and grooves that help capture sauce, while Setaro's bronze-drawn production gives the pasta its characteristic porous texture.
How to Use Setaro Gemelli
Gemelli is especially versatile with pesto, tomato sauces, creamy sauces, vegetables, and meat ragù. Its twisted shape holds sauces and small ingredients particularly well, and it also works beautifully in pasta salads and other preparations served at room temperature.
