Pasta Mista Afeltra refers to a type of mixed pasta made by Afeltra, a famous pasta brand from Gragnano, Italy, a region renowned for its high-quality durum wheat and pasta production traditions. “Pasta mista” traditionally means “mixed pasta,” often made from leftover pasta shapes. It was originally a way to avoid waste, but over time, it became a dish in its own right, especially in southern Italy.
Afeltra’s pasta is typically bronze-cut, which means the pasta dough is extruded through bronze dies, giving it a rougher texture that helps sauces cling better. Pasta mista is perfect for soups or dishes like “pasta e patate” (pasta and potatoes), where the combination of different shapes adds variety to the texture.
