Setaro Manfredi Lunghi is an exceptionally long ribbon pasta with distinctive ruffled edges, made by Pastificio Setaro in Torre Annunziata, near Naples, Italy. Manfredi is a pasta shape closely associated with Campanian and Neapolitan cooking and is related to the pasta shapes also known as Mafaldine or Reginette. Setaro's special long format measures an impressive 60 cm, or nearly two feet long.
How to Use Setaro Manfredi Lunghi
One of the most traditional Neapolitan ways to enjoy Manfredi is Manfredi con la ricotta, pairing the pasta with creamy ricotta and tomato sauce or ragù. Its broad center and ruffled edges also work beautifully with meat sauces, sausage, mushrooms, and other rich preparations, as the textured edges help capture sauce.
A Name with Neapolitan Folklore
The name Manfredi is traditionally linked in culinary folklore to Manfred of Sicily, with legends connecting him to an early preparation of pasta with ricotta. While the exact historical origin of the story is uncertain, Manfredi with ricotta remains a beloved preparation in Neapolitan cooking.
