Fregola, also called fregula, is a traditional Sardinian pasta that resembles couscous in appearance, but is absolutely unique in taste and texture. This Fregola Sarda Tostata from Rustichella d'Abruzzo is made with high-quality wheat semolina, formed into small balls of 2 to 3 mm, which are first dried and then roasted in the oven. This creates a delicious, nutty flavor that couscous doesn't have.

The fregola is extremely versatile in use:

• Cook it like pasta or rice

• Prepare it as a risotto for a creamy texture

• Use it in salads, as a substitute for couscous in a tabouleh

• Add to soup, such as a hearty minestrone

• Stuff poultry with it, together with fresh herbs and vegetables

For the creative ones in the kitchen: you can even use fregola in a savory breakfast as an alternative to traditional cereals – surprising and nutritious!

Serving suggestions:

• Combine with seafood and saffron

• Serve as a lukewarm salad with roasted vegetables and feta

• Use as a base for a vegetarian risotto with mushrooms and Parmesan
