Setaro Strozzapreti is a distinctive twisted pasta made by Pastificio Setaro in Torre Annunziata, near Naples, Italy. Its memorable name literally translates as "priest chokers" or "priest stranglers" in Italian. Several colorful legends surround the origin of the name, including tales of clergy enjoying the pasta a little too enthusiastically, although its exact history remains part of Italian culinary folklore.
How to Use Setaro Strozzapreti
Strozzapreti pairs beautifully with meat ragù, sausage, tomato sauces, pesto, mushrooms, vegetables, and creamy sauces. Its twisted shape provides plenty of texture for catching sauce and smaller ingredients, making it especially satisfying with rustic, hearty preparations.
