Setaro Semi di Cicoria is a tiny seed-shaped pasta made by Pastificio Setaro in Torre Annunziata, near Naples, Italy. The name semi di cicoria means "chicory seeds" in Italian, referring to the pasta's petite seed-like appearance rather than its flavor. This small format belongs to the Italian tradition of pastina-style pasta used in soups and comforting dishes.
How to Use Setaro Semi di Cicoria
Semi di Cicoria is especially well suited to broths, soups, and one-pot dishes with beans, lentils, chickpeas, or vegetables. Its tiny size allows it to cook directly into flavorful liquids and blend naturally with other ingredients, making it an excellent choice for simple, comforting Italian meals.
