Yes, Bottega Torciano loves pasta. Here is why we make our own, and why it's good for you.
1
Choose our whole wheat pasta
Whole wheat pasta keeps all three parts of the grain: the bran, the outer layer; the germ, where the seed would sprout; and the endosperm, the starchy core. That's why it beats white pasta on every count. It slows down how fast your body takes in sugars and fats, it keeps you fuller for longer, and it carries antioxidants and enzymes that plain white pasta doesn't.

Our pasta won't make you gain weight
We follow the Mediterranean tradition. At Bottega Torciano we know it's never the pasta itself that adds weight — it's rich condiments, heavy meat or too much cheese. We cook with healthy ingredients and make light, good-quality sauces to dress the fresh pasta we produce, staying true to the Mediterranean diet. Paired with these typical ingredients, our pasta can even help you lose weight.

How much should you eat a day?
We recommend 100 grams per person for a dish of our fresh pasta. Ask us to add extra vegetables or legumes, full of nutrients and fibre, to make the dish tastier and more filling. Just watch the cheese.

Our condiments
Our favourite condiments are Extra Virgin Olive Oil and chili, both of our own production. At Bottega Torciano we care about our customers' health, so we dress our pasta with a generous amount of onion and garlic, both good for digestion and metabolism. We also add fresh herbs and pepper, rich in antioxidants and a real help for digestion.

Pasta whenever you like, lunch or dinner
You can enjoy our pasta at lunch or at dinner. If you pair it with our wines, though, keep in mind that the sugars from wine or alcohol combined with the sugars from carbohydrates can be too heavy for the body to process by the end of the day — so we suggest eating pasta at lunch.
Now that you know why Bottega Torciano fell for pasta, come and try it yourself. Buon appetito!
