Container-1-De Cecco Candele, long macaroni, No.127, 6 kg, 12 x 500g

Candele, a traditional pasta shape from southern Italy, is particularly popular in the Neapolitan region. They are oblong, round, and perforated, with a diameter of approximately 12 mm and a thickness of between 1.10 and 1.20 mm. Like zite and zitone, candele are broken into irregular pieces before cooking. Candele are particularly suitable for sophisticated oven-baked dishes. Vegetable sauces, i.e., tomato sauces enriched with zucchini, eggplant, peppers, or other vegetables, go perfectly with this pasta shape, but simple sauces with olives and capers also taste excellent.
