A pasta dish built on contrast

This paccheri recipe brings together bold Mediterranean flavours in a surprisingly delicate way. The savoury character of salt cod meets a smooth tomato sauce made with Mutti Passata Tomato Purée, a velvety and creamy sauce from only 100% Italian tomatoes.

Why paccheri work so well here

With their large shape and firm texture, paccheri are ideal for holding a generous sauce and capturing small pieces of cod and olive in every bite. Finished gently in the pan with the tomato sauce and a splash of pasta water, they become glossy, flavourful and perfectly coated before serving.
