Paccheri are a kind of pasta originating from Campania: in the shape of very large tubes (sort of giant macaroni), mostly made with durum wheat semolina and water. Their size is really above the norm (hence their etymology from the Greek word "paccheri", a term still used in Italian as "pat"). Usually this type of pasta, being pasta without eggs, is extremely suitable for providing a base for pies and pasties.

Its cooking time is about 3 minutes and a half. Packaged in 500 grams envelope, "Paccheri" should be stored at a temperature not greater than 4 degrees.
