Pasta Cocco Stellette is a small, star-shaped Italian pasta made in Fara San Martino, Abruzzo. Part of the producer's Pastine di Semola collection, these delicate little pasta stars are designed for soups, broths and light, comforting dishes.

Made using durum wheat semolina, the pasta is shaped through small bronze dies, arranged on wooden frames and slowly dried at low temperatures. This careful production process reflects Pasta Cocco's longstanding pasta-making heritage.

How to enjoy

Stellette is particularly well suited to Italian pastina in brodo, a simple dish of tiny pasta cooked in broth. Add it to chicken or vegetable broth, homemade minestrone or light tomato soup for a satisfying meal.

Its playful star shape also makes it a lovely choice for children's pasta dishes, served with a little butter, grated Parmesan or a mild tomato sauce.

Since 1916, Pasta Cocco has been a beacon of traditional Italian pasta-making, nestled in the heart of Fara San Martino, Abruzzo—a town renowned as the "capital of pasta." Founded by Domenico Cocco, who began his journey in pasta production at just 14, the family's dedication to authentic methods has been unwavering.

Today, Pasta Cocco stands as a testament to this legacy, producing premium Italian pasta using time-honoured techniques, including bronze dies and slow drying processes, to deliver unparalleled taste and texture.

FAQs Answers to common questions about this product.

What is stellette pasta?

Stellette means "little stars" in Italian. It is a type of pastina, the name given to very small pasta shapes commonly used in Italian soups and broths. Its tiny star shape makes it particularly suitable for dishes eaten with a spoon.

What is the difference between stellette and stelline pasta?

Both names refer to small star-shaped pasta. The exact size and design can vary between producers, but both are commonly used in soups and broth-based dishes.

Can stellette pasta be cooked directly in soup?

Yes. Stellette can be added directly to simmering broth or soup, where it cooks while absorbing some of the liquid. Add extra broth or water as needed, as the pasta will thicken the soup while cooking.
