Seven geometries, varying in texture, thickness, and size. Combined on the palate in a constantly changing experience. Specifically designed to stimulate unique gastronomic sensations.
In pasta, shape drives taste. In pasta, shape matters as much as substance.
The square cut of its section gives to this pasta an unusual shape both to the eye and to the palate. The angular shape is yet melt-in-the-mouth and maintains itself unaltered even after it is cooked.

7 PASTA SHAPES, ONE DIE.
A single die gives life to seven distinct shapes,
all sharing the same essence:
the authentic wheat flavor of Mancini’s estate pasta.
A traditional pasta that once was a blend of leftover random cuts, now is reinterpreted in a gastronomic key.
“Mista” or “mischiata” (mixed pasta) boasts a long culinary tradition, originating in the regions of Southern Italy.
What was once a pasta made up of a mix of shapes , salvaged from family kitchen cupboards, becomes, with Mista Mancini, a pasta with a new gastronomic identity.
The Mancini Mista consists of 7 different pasta shapes obtained from the extrusion of the dough through a single die and slowly dried at low temperatures from 36 °C (96.8 °F) to 55 °C (131 °F) for 22 hours.
Cooking time 8-9 minutes
Drying time 22 hours
