How to Pair Pasta with the Right Sauce: A Guide to the Perfect Match

When it comes to Italian cuisine, there’s one rule everyone should know: not all pasta is the same — and each of our “Spicial Sauces” has its ideal match. Shape, texture, and the ability to hold the sauce make certain pasta types perfect to enhance our recipes. Here's a short guide on how to pair pasta and sauce to create harmonious combinations and bring out the best in every dish. Of course, these are just suggestions: every sauce can be enjoyed with your favourite pasta.

Tagliatelle with Mushrooms

Tagliatelle, with their wide and rough surface, are ideal for this creamy, enveloping sauce. The Mushrooms sauce — rich, fragrant and velvety — binds beautifully to this type of pasta, delivering a balanced and intense culinary experience. Perfect for those looking for a meat-free tagliatelle sauce, it's a timeless dish, especially in the autumn months.

Penne with Olives Tomato

Penne, with their tubular shape and angled ends, hold this bold sauce very well. The Olives Tomato sauce, spicy and Mediterranean, finds in penne the perfect ally to highlight every bite. A main course that smells like summer.

Rigatoni with Tomato

Rigatoni are a bold pasta shape, with a large diameter and deep ridges that catch the sauce. The Tomato sauce is elevated by the structure of rigatoni. A perfect match for a traditional lunch with a spicy and innovative twist.

Spaghetti with Tomato Tandoori

Spaghetti, smooth and flowing, are a timeless classic of Italian cuisine. Perfect for traditional dishes like seafood spaghetti, they also shine in more creative combinations. The Tomato Tandoori sauce, with its exotic and aromatic touch, wraps around the spaghetti in a fusion of Italian tradition and oriental notes. An original dish, ideal for those who love to explore.

Fusilli with Zucchini

Fusilli, thanks to their spiral shape, hold onto the sauce beautifully, capturing it in every twist. The Zucchini sauce, both spicy and delicate, intertwines with the pasta to create a fresh and balanced dish. Our zucchini sauce for pasta is perfect for anyone looking for a flavourful vegetarian option.

Of course, there are countless combinations and personal tastes: nothing stops you from trying fusilli with Mushrooms or Tomato Tandoori with rigatoni. Try out these pairings and let the flavours tell their story.
