Authentic Flavors of Marche

Marche, with its rich and varied culinary tradition, offers an extraordinary combination of flavors ranging from land to sea products.
Among the most representative dishes of the Marche cuisine, we find pasta dressed with paccasassi and sauces of mussels and clams: these ingredients tell a story of authenticity and a deep connection with the territory.

Paccasassi, also known as samphire, are a wild plant that grows spontaneously along the cliffs of Mount Conero: this rare vegetable is characterized by fleshy and aromatic leaves, with a taste reminiscent of fennel and citrus fruits.
In the Marche culinary tradition, paccasassi are appreciated for their unique and versatile flavor: they can be preserved in oil to enrich appetizers, crostini, and salads; they are also transformed into a pesto with oil, pine nuts, and Parmesan becoming a delicious condiment for pasta; they are also added fresh to seafood salads or sautéed in a pan with garlic and chili.

Marche, with its long Adriatic coast, offers a cuisine rich in sea flavors. Among the most loved dishes are those with sauces based on clams and mussels, which enhance the authentic taste of the sea.
Spaghetti & Mandolino is committed to selecting producers who use the best raw materials, capable of satisfying even the most demanding palates: mussels and clams are carefully selected by artisans for their freshness and flavor in order to offer a finished product that honors the land of these producers.
With these sauces, you can dress different types of pasta and save a dinner among friends in a simple, yet elegant way.
