Pasta Mista N.74 Rummo: the great Neapolitan classic

Rummo Pasta Mista N.74 is a mixed short durum wheat semolina pasta that brings together different shapes and thicknesses in a single 500 g pack, sold in cases of 16 (8 kg net). Made with the Lenta Lavorazione® method certified by Bureau Veritas since 2013, it cooks in about 10 minutes and is the ideal base for soups, pasta e fagioli, pasta e ceci and the rustic broths of Italian home cooking. A pantry staple for professional kitchens that demand consistent quality and excellent cooking resistance.

What mixed pasta is

Mixed pasta, known in the Neapolitan tradition as «munnezzaglia», was born as a humble dish of leftovers: shopkeepers gathered the broken ends of different pasta formats and sold them together at a low price. From that culture of no-waste cooking grew one of the most beloved classics of Southern Italy, the foundation of dishes such as pasta e patate and pasta e fagioli. The mix of shapes and thicknesses releases starch gradually during cooking, giving these dishes their signature creamy, enveloping texture.

The producer: Pastificio Rummo, Benevento since 1846

The Rummo family began milling grain in Benevento, in the Sannio region of Campania, in 1846. Across six generations the company turned its historic milling craft into one of Italy's benchmark pasta makers. In 1991 it inaugurated the modern plant in Ponte Valentino. Today Rummo is renowned worldwide for its Lenta Lavorazione® method, which doubles the kneading and resting times compared with industrial pasta to protect the gluten structure and the wheat aroma.

Lenta Lavorazione® method

Lenta Lavorazione® is a slow production protocol certified by Bureau Veritas since 2013. The dough rests longer, drying takes place at low temperature, and the pasta is bronze-influenced to obtain a rough, porous surface. The result is pasta that holds its shape and bite even in long cooking and in re-heated service, and that captures sauces and seasonings far better than smooth, fast-dried pasta.

Sensory characteristics

Amber colour typical of quality durum wheat, rough and slightly opaque surface, intense wheat aroma. Firm, elastic bite that stays al dente. Excellent cooking resistance: the mixed formats keep their texture in soups and broths without turning mushy, an essential trait for professional service.

Professional uses

• Pasta e fagioli: add the mixed pasta directly to the bean broth in the last 10 minutes so the released starch thickens the dish naturally.
• Pasta e patate alla napoletana: cook the pasta in the potato base «risottata», adding a little hot water as needed, until creamy.
• Pasta e ceci: finish the pasta in the chickpea cooking liquid with rosemary and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
• Minestrone and vegetable soups: the varied formats add texture and substance to seasonal vegetable broths.
• Quick rustic dishes: dress simply with a tomato sauce and grated Parmigiano Reggiano for a fast, satisfying staff or canteen meal.

Pairings

Pasta Mista N.74 pairs naturally with a good tomato sauce, Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, San Marzano DOP peeled tomatoes and a finishing drizzle of Italian extra virgin olive oil. For legume dishes, rosemary, garlic and a hint of chilli complete the Southern Italian profile.
