Strozzapreti literally means ‘priest choker’. Priests in Italy were always assumed to eat well and possess even more than the normal healthy Italian appetite! Morelli make this pasta with wheat germ (‘germe di grano’ in Italian), a secret ingredient not found in most common types of pasta. Wheat germ is a rock star ingredient! It is full of nutrients and toasted nutty goodness. Strozzapreti is perfect with your favourite Mediterranean veg, roasted and tossed in olive oil.
