The Mafaldine Italian pasta di gragnano are a format of typical pasta from Gragnano, reproposed by Pastai di Gragnanesi.They were dedicated to Mafalda di savoia when it was born in 1902, which is why they took the name of Mafaldine or Reginette, but this format had existed for much longer. It is a short, curled pasta shape. It is nothing but the already broken version of the long Mafaldina, excellent therefore for the "mixed pasta.'' Mafaldine Pastai Gragnanesi I.G.P. (Protected Geographical Indication). A special long cut shaped like a ribbon enriched by precious curls. The origin of this shape seems to refer to a pretty girl named "Mafalda" with curly hair, who inspired the pasta maker, or to the princess Mafalda di Savoia. This cut is originated from Naples, Italy. Cooperativa Pastai Gragnanesi IGP. The factory of Pastai Gragnanesi has a vertical (not horizontal as the modern one) development. This architectural anomaly supports the entrenchment of the pasta in the tradition of Gragnano pasta because it saves the old and tried processing methods and the manual skill to assure better quality pasta.
