What is "barbine"?
Barbine pasta is a unique type of pasta originating from the region of Molise in Italy. It is characterized by its twisted shape, resembling small spirals or springs, which are typically made by wrapping the pasta dough around a thin rod or knitting needle. This distinctive shape allows the barbine pasta to hold sauce well, making it ideal for pairing with hearty or chunky sauces that cling to its spirals.
