“The twisted pasta of Salento, holding every drop of sauce.”
Long strips of pasta rolled up on themselves: the most recognisable shape of Salento cooking, in a whole wheat version.
Sagne ncannulate, also known as twisted sagne (sagne attorcigliate), are a symbol of the traditional cuisine of Salento, the southern tip of Puglia. This pasta is loved for its unique shape and for its bond with the history and culture of Salento: it is made from simple ingredients, as in the peasant cooking of Southern Italy, humble in means but rich in flavour.
These are sagne in their whole wheat version, made with less refined flours than the semolina sagne. They are dried pasta, in a 400 g pack.
The name
Sagne ncannulate take their name from the dialect verb «ncannulare», which means to twist. That is exactly the gesture that shapes them: the pasta is worked by hand into spirals, which hold the sauce better than a smooth pasta.
In the traditional preparation the dough is rolled out and cut into long strips, and then each strip is twisted on itself. It takes time and patience, and it is this manual process that gives sagne their unmistakable shape.

Sagne ncannulate are a cornerstone of Salento cooking and embody its tradition. They are often made for feast days and special occasions: a dish that brings the family together around the table and celebrates the authentic flavours of the land.
