Semolina Olive Leaves

“A pasta shaped like the leaves of Puglia's olive trees.”

Dry pasta made from durum wheat semolina and spinach, which give it its green colour, with a rough inner side that gathers the sauce and holds it to the last bite.

Durum wheat semolina Dry pasta 500 g pack

Olive leaf pasta (foglie d'ulivo) is a typical Puglia pasta shape, recognisable at a glance: it looks like the leaves of the olive trees that fill the region's countryside. And the shape does real work: the rough inner side gathers the sauce and binds it to the pasta.

These are the semolina olive leaves: dry pasta made from durum wheat semolina and spinach, green from the spinach, in a 500 g pack. They suit a family lunch as well as a dinner with friends, with a simple sauce or a richer one.

The tradition

A tribute to the olive trees of Puglia

Olive leaves are a tribute to the nature of Puglia, where olive trees are everywhere, and to its food tradition. You will find them in many typical recipes of Puglia's cooking.

Bringing them to the table means bringing a piece of that tradition: a pasta you recognise on the plate before you even taste it.

In the kitchen

How to dress olive leaf pasta

🍅 Fresh tomato and basil The favourite: a sauce of fresh tomatoes, garlic, extra virgin olive oil and basil. It brings out the flavour of the pasta without covering its delicacy. For a quick dish there is our ready-made tomato and basil sauce.	🍄 Sausage and mushrooms A sausage and mushroom sauce, richer and bolder: perfect for the colder months.
🦐 Seafood ragù For a touch of originality, a seafood ragù with prawns and mussels: the leaf gathers both the sauce and the seafood.	🍝 Simple or elaborate sauces It is a versatile shape: it takes a quick tomato sauce as well as a long-cooked one, from the everyday recipe to the one for special occasions.

💡	The secret is the cooking water. Before draining the pasta, set a little aside and add it to the sauce: the starch released by the pasta makes the sauce creamier and binds it better to the leaves.

Step by step

Olive leaves with fresh tomato and basil

1	The sauce In a pan, extra virgin olive oil and garlic; then the fresh tomatoes, and let them cook down into a sauce.
2	The pasta Cook the olive leaves in plenty of salted water: it helps keep their texture and stops the pasta from sticking. Taste before draining.
3	The cooking water Drain, keeping a little of the cooking water aside, and pour it into the sauce together with the pasta.
4	The basil Toss everything in the pan and finish with fresh basil.
