How great is this? My local grocery store started carrying ditalini. I’ve been wanting a good source for it ever since I saw the Mount Athos monks eating it.
Ditalini (Italian: [ditaˈliːni]; English: “small thimbles”), also referred to as tubettini, is a type of pasta that is shaped like small tubes. It has been described as “thimble-sized” and as “very short macaroni”. In some areas it is also called “salad macaroni”.
Ditalini may be used in several pasta dishes, such as pasta e fagioli (pasta and beans). … It has been described as used often in soups, and as an ideal pasta for use in soups due to their small size being able to “fit well on a spoon”. It may also be used in pasta salads.
I like it so much I just eat it plain with salt and pepper.
I have a feeling 2024 is going to be a good year.
