What if pasta could make the difference? Improving the sustainability of our food system begins with conscious consumption and with the preservation of our natural resources. Food for Soul and Mancini Pastificio Agricolo are excited to announce Le Curve di Pasta Lunga, a call to Mancini Pastificio Agricolo act for conscious consumption, born out of an idea of Massimo Bottura and Mancini Pastificio Agricolo to strive towards a circular economy and a better future for the planet and our communities. “La cucina povera teaches us not to waste anything in the kitchen. Creativity is the power to make something out of nothing. This is what we did with Mancini. We saw the potential of pasta scraps and gave them a new life.“ Massimo Bottura The curve is obtained from the part of the pasta that rests on the rack during the drying process and that is usually discarded in the making of some of our favourite long pasta shapes like spaghetti and linguine. Respectful of the natural resources, the seasonality of the ingredients and the sustainability of the production, Mancini Pastificio Agricolo produces its pasta from the durum wheat that they cultivate and harvest in the fields around the factory, in the heart of Le Marche region. Simon Owen Red Photographer With the purchase of each bag of pasta, you will get to taste the heritage of this beautiful region and also give back!
