Fregola Tostata, pearl-round pasta made from roasted durum wheat semolina, 500 g

Fregola Tostata is a speciality in Sardinia. The pearly-round pasta is made from durum wheat semolina and water and then roasted. This gives it a special flavor. The durum wheat semolina for the fregola grows in Abruzzo, where they know how to make very fine pasta. The wheat thrives particularly well in the salty breezes of the Adriatic and the spring water used there for further processing is clear and pure. Fregola Tostata is similar to couscous. It is often used as an ingredient in fish soups, but also tastes sensational on its own with olive oil and fresh herbs! Cooking time about 14-17 minutes.
