Candela Corta

Candela corte are a short, thick pasta shape, characterized by tubes shaped like small candles, with one end cut straight. This format is particularly appreciated for its ability to retain sauces, thanks to its compact structure and smooth surface. Short candles are ideal for rich and dense sauces, such as meat ragù or creamy sauces, but are also suitable for gratinated dishes. Their rustic and substantial shape makes them perfect for preparations in which the seasoning must be well mixed with the pasta.
