Regional ItalianFerricelli, also known as fusilli lucani, are a Basilicata classic with lamb or pork ragù and a grating of hard cheese. The long twist holds a chunky sauce. The 25-minute cooking time needs planning: cook them during prep to just under done and finish them in the sauce to order. On a regional menu they are a dish few competitors offer.

Allergens gluten (durum wheat)
Ferricelli are hard to find outside southern Italy, which makes them a discovery item for customers who already know orecchiette. A short note on the long cooking time and the meat-sauce pairing helps the sale. They also suit Italian regional promotions and gift baskets with a jar of ragù.
