Description
Ditalini are a variety of short pasta, usually cylindrical and very small, that find their place in traditional Italian soups. Their name comes from the Italian word "ditalini", which means "thimble", referring to their small and round shape, similar to a thimble used for sewing. These pasta are perfectly adapted to be used in thick soups, such as those with beans, but also in minestrone or other classic Italian soups. Also, due to their small size, ditalini can be integrated into various dishes, bringing a pleasant texture and a consistent consistency when combined with sauces or vegetables.
