Trader Joe's is here to make your next dinner a little more interesting with its new Organic Mafalda Corta Pasta.
Mafalda Corta pasta – also known simply as Manfredine or reginette – is a pleasing pasta shaped like miniature lasagna ribbons. These tiny lasagna noodle-like squares cook up with a delightful al dente texture that makes them perfectly suited or both cold and hot pastas alike. As Trader Joe's suggests, the Organic Mafalda Corta Pasta pairs perfectly with a quick weeknight pot of Bolognese Style Tomato & Beef Pasta Sauce, or can be enjoyed cold as an elevated take on a classic Caprese salad. As Trader Joe's sums it up: "Getting dinner on the table doesn’t have to be a drag, thanks to Trader Joe’s Organic Mafalda Corta Pasta."
