Sottotitolo / introduzione

From the fields of Puglia to your kitchen in the UK, Trulli & Sassi brings the character of Southern Italian pasta to the table.

There are some foods that immediately transport you somewhere. For many Italians, pasta is one of them.

The shape, the texture, the way it holds the sauce — even the sound of the packet opening — can bring back memories of family lunches, Sunday cooking and long meals around the table.

That is exactly what we love about Trulli & Sassi, an artisan pasta range from Puglia created by Pastificio Antonio Marella.

Made with 100% Italian durum wheat semolina, the range celebrates the traditional pasta shapes of Southern Italy, with a particular focus on the flavours and traditions of Puglia.

What makes Trulli & Sassi special?

Puglia is famous for its beautiful countryside, ancient towns, trulli, olive groves and, of course, its food.

But pasta from Puglia is not only about the ingredients. Shape matters.

Traditional shapes were created to work with the food people actually cooked at home — vegetables, tomato sauces, legumes, seafood, olive oil and rich ragùs.

Trulli & Sassi pasta is bronze-die extruded and slowly dried at low temperatures, creating a rough, porous surface that helps sauces cling to the pasta.

The result is pasta with a satisfying al dente texture and plenty of character.

And that's exactly what we look for at PUTIA: Italian food that doesn't just look Italian on the shelf, but has a story, a tradition and a real place behind it.

🍝 Orecchiette: the little ears of Puglia

If there is one pasta shape that immediately says Puglia, it has to be orecchiette.

Their name means “little ears”, and their distinctive shape is perfect for catching sauces, vegetables and small pieces of ingredients.

Traditionally, orecchiette are closely associated with dishes such as orecchiette con cime di rapa, made with broccoli rabe, garlic, chilli and often anchovies.

You can also keep things simple with extra virgin olive oil, garlic and Pecorino — sometimes the simplest combinations are the best.

🌈 A little more colour: Rainbow Orecchiette

For something different, Trulli & Sassi also makes a colourful Rainbow Orecchiette Mix.

The colours come from natural vegetables and spices including spinach, beetroot, turmeric and tomato, rather than artificial dyes.

They are particularly fun for a family dinner, but they still have the same traditional orecchiette character — rough, porous and made to hold onto sauce.

Try them with cherry tomatoes, burrata and fresh basil for a simple Southern Italian-inspired dish.

🍝 Cavatelli: small pasta, big flavour

Cavatelli are another classic of Southern Italian cooking.

Their rolled shape creates a little pocket that works beautifully with chunky sauces, vegetables, beans and meat.

For a proper rustic Italian meal, try them with a rich tomato sauce, vegetables or a simple combination of olive oil, garlic and chilli.

🇮🇹 And then there are the Spaghetti

Even when the shape is familiar, an artisan pasta can completely change the experience.

The Trulli & Sassi Pugliese spaghetti is made with 100% Italian durum wheat semolina and has a thicker, satisfying texture designed to hold onto sauces.

Try it with a simple tomato sauce, seafood, garlic and chilli, or even a classic Carbonara.
