{"product_id":"mezza-manica-500g-armando","title":"Mezza Manica 500g Armando","description":"\u003cp\u003eArmando Mezza Manica is a traditional Italian pasta made from durum wheat semolina, shaped into short, wide tubes with a ridged exterior. This format is designed to capture and hold sauces both inside the hollow centre and along the outer surface, giving a more even distribution of flavour across each bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mezza manica shape sits somewhere between smaller tubular pasta and larger formats, making it particularly suited to richer sauces that need structure. It works well in dishes where the pasta needs to carry weight, such as thick tomato sauces, vegetable-based combinations, or creamier preparations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRidged surface helps sauces cling effectively\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide, hollow shape holds sauce inside and out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from durum wheat semolina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for rich, chunky, or creamy sauces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical for everyday and more substantial meals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurum wheat semolina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDirections\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCook in a large pot of boiling water until the pasta reaches your preferred texture.
