A colourful pasta dough enriched with tomato purée/paste, perfect for rustic shapes like garganelli, malloreddus or cavatelli. This dough is a playful twist on the classic southern semola-and-water base, with the subtle sweetness and colour of tomato folded in. It’s just as sturdy and versatile, but with a beautiful hue that brings extra warmth to your plate. You can use it for any shape that benefits from a bit of visual drama and a hint of tomato richness. The ratio remains the same – 2:1
