Spacious and generous, Paccherini (a smaller size of the well-known Paccheri) are perfect for holding rich and abundant sauces from Neapolitan and Italian cuisine in general. Among the most iconic pasta shapes of the Campania tradition, Paccheri reign supreme, especially in Naples. But now a format used in the kitchens of all Italian families. Wrapped in the charm of legend, they would seem to have been created by Gennaro Gattuccio, a chef at the court of King Ferdinand II of Bourbon, who was inspired by the gold coins of the time.
