Acini Di Pepe Pasta

Acini di pepe, when translated into English, means "grains of pepper." Despite the name, this pasta type doesn't possess any peppery taste, rather it refers to its miniscule shape and size. Originally from Italy, acini di pepe enhances a variety of soups, salads and side dishes with its pleasant texture. When cooked properly, acini di pepe maintains a firm yet tender consistency, making it an excellent addition to your dish. Its neutral flavor profile allows it to absorb the flavors of the meal it's incorporated into. This pasta variety invites culinary creativity and often commands a second helping.
