DESCRIPTION   This format has become as popular as our spaghetti in great restaurants around the world. Eight years ago, I asked the chefs I most admired—and who still are my best-loved after fourteen years in business—which short type of pasta was best suited to Senatore Cappelli. The unanimous response was pennette, very short, small tubes of haute cuisine class. Or else rigatoni, but very large and again for haute cuisine, as Gianfranco Vissani insisted… So we produced pennette, putting off the rigatoni for a few years. There are by now many autographed recipes for pennette Senatore Cappelli. One stands out: an exotic pasta salad with avocado, lobster and more from Claudio Sadler, Ristorante Sadler, Milan.   FEATURES    Senatore Cappelli durum wheat. The variety of durum wheat known as Senatore Cappelli was selected in the early 20th century by Nazareno Strampelli, recognized internationally as the father of modern cereal culture. The variety attained record yields per hectare that were unsurpassed until the 1960s. But then its cultivation virtually ceased, as it was superseded by more productive varieties. In October 1991, we sowed 905 kilograms of Senatore Cappelli durum wheat. Our first harvest was in June 1992. In the autumn of that same year we started producing our Senatore Cappelli Spaghetti and Spaghettini as the world’s first single-variety durum wheat pasta. Senatore Cappelli is a beautiful plant, standing over 180 centimeters tall. The ears, of a warm ash blonde color, have long black whiskers and very large grains.
