Key Culinary Uses

1. Pasta à Jardineira: The classic Portuguese use—perfect for meat-based stews with vegetables where the ridges help the rich gravy cling to the pasta.
2. Pasta Bakes: Its sturdy structure makes it ideal for gratins and baked dishes with Parmalat Béchamel and melted cheese.
3. Cold Salads: Because it maintains its shape and bite so well, it is a favourite for Mediterranean pasta salads with tuna, olives, and corn.
