Whether you're coeliac, gluten-sensitive, or simply exploring gluten-free options, this pasta is a game-changer—crafted with care, tradition, and only two natural ingredients.
🍝 What is Mafaldine Pasta?
Mafaldine pasta, also known as Reginette or “little queens,” is a ribbon-shaped pasta with elegant ruffled edges. This traditional Italian pasta shape is perfect for holding rich sauces, making it a favourite for hearty dishes. Available in a 100% gluten-free version, our Mafaldine is ideal for coeliacs, gluten-sensitive individuals, or anyone seeking a healthier alternative without compromising on flavour.
🌾 Made with Only Two Gluten-Free Ingredients
Our gluten-free Mafaldine is made in Italy using:
- Premium rice flour
- High-quality corn flour
These are blended with natural spring water from an ancient source in Gragnano, renowned for its mineral-rich properties. The dough is kneaded for over 15 minutes to ensure a smooth, elastic texture that mimics traditional wheat pasta.
🛠️ Bronze-Drawn for Texture and Sauce Absorption
Unlike industrial pasta, our Mafaldine is bronze-drawn—a slow, artisanal method that creates a rough surface. This texture helps sauces cling to the pasta, enhancing flavour and creating a more satisfying bite. It’s a key reason why our pasta is considered among the best gluten-free pasta options in the UK.
🌈 Bright Colour, Perfect Yield
Our pasta has a vibrant golden colour and an impressive yield:
100g dry = 170g cooked
This means more pasta per portion, with the same rich taste and texture you’d expect from traditional Italian pasta.
🕰️ Slow Drying for Superior Quality & Maximum Flavour
To preserve the natural flavour and nutritional value of our ingredients, the pasta is slow-dried for 24 to 60 hours at low temperatures (around 45°C). This traditional drying method, dating back to the 1800s, ensures a firm, al dente texture and superior cooking performance.
🧵 Traditional Shaping with Modern Precision
- Long pasta is hung on aluminium rods, just like the bamboo canes used by our ancestors.
- Short pasta is laid gently on wooden looms.
Every batch is carefully monitored by Antonino and Mario, our third and fourth-generation pasta makers, who inspect each production with meticulous care.
📦 Handled with Care from Start to Finish
Once dried, the pasta moves to our packaging department, where trained staff ensure every pack meets our high standards. From flour to fork, every step is a celebration of authentic Italian craftsmanship.
