Northern Pasta - Gigli (450g)

Discover elegance in pasta form. No. 5 Gigli from Northern Pasta Co. is a beautiful, fluted pasta flower (also known as campanelle or lilies) that combines visual appeal with functional texture. Its ruffled edges and curved form make it ideal for catching thicker sauces and adding character to any dish. 

Features & Highlights

• Shape & Texture: The Gigli shape features flower-like curls and ruffles, designed to trap sauce in every fold—great for creamy sauces, ragùs, or vegetable blends. 

• Ingredients: Made from regeneratively grown British spelt and wheat semolina—a flavour profile that brings nutty depth to your pasta. 

• Production Method: Bronze-die extruded for a rough surface that helps sauces cling; slow dried at low temperatures to retain flavour and texture. 

• Pack Size: 450 g bag (typical for Northern Pasta shapes)

• Suitability: Excellent with robust, chunky, or creamy sauces that benefit from pasta shapes that “hold on” rather than slip away. 

Usage & Recipe Ideas

• Use 5 minutes cooking time (check the package for exact al dente time). 

• Try a Truffle & Mushroom Gigli — sautéed mushrooms, garlic, thyme, mascarpone, then toss in the cooked Gigli with pasta water and finish with Parmesan. 

• Or make Gigli all’Amatriciana — pan-fried guanciale (or pancetta), garlic & chilli, tomato sauce, then toss with al dente Gigli and pecorino
