Made from organic North American semolina and water, these small, curved tubes are extruded through bronze dies for a textured surface that welcomes sauce. Keep a box for bubbling macaroni and cheese, a bright pasta salad or a generous pot of soup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe restaurant behind the pasta\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlour + Water opened in San Francisco’s Mission District in 2009, bringing regional Italian traditions together with Northern California ingredients. Handmade pasta became the center of its kitchen: a study in how grain, shape and texture can change the character of a dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChefs Thomas McNaughton and Ryan Pollnow extended that experience into Flour + Water Foods. Developed in their test kitchen, the dried pasta collection brings their approach to a format made for the home pantry. The same culinary family includes Penny Roma, the Flour + Water Pasta Shop and Flour + Water Pizzeria, each with its own expression of the pleasure of gathering around good food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Lello, that is the appeal: a familiar ingredient with a thoughtful story, ready to become part of your own cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose bronze-die macaroni?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBronze-die extrusion creates a rough, porous exterior that helps sauce cling to the pasta. The elbow’s short curve and open center catch creamy cheese sauces and small pieces of vegetables, while its compact shape makes it easy to serve by the spoonful. It is equally at home in a baking dish, a soup bowl or a salad passed around the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt the Lello table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA proper macaroni and cheese:\u003c\/strong\u003e white cheddar, a little Gruyère and a crisp, buttery breadcrumb crust.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA Mediterranean lunch:\u003c\/strong\u003e cherry tomatoes, olives, cucumber and feta, dressed with extra virgin olive oil and lemon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA simple seasonal supper:\u003c\/strong\u003e peas, sautéed leeks, butter and Parmigiano Reggiano, finished with black pepper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSomething warming:\u003c\/strong\u003e stir into minestrone or pasta e fagioli, then finish each bowl with good olive oil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to cook\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
