Casarecce – Wasted Pasta

Meet the Casarecce di Pane from Wasted Pasta!

Wasted collects bread surplus from large-scale bakeries (bread that’s still safe: frozen within 24 h of baking). That bread is dried, turned into flour, and mixed with durum wheat flour, Manitoba wheat flour and vital wheat gluten. No binders, no preservatives, no animal-products. 

The formula: ~25% bread-waste flour. 

Extruded through traditional bronze dies, dried at low temperature, to deliver the “al dente” bite lovers expect.

Why we love it at Omada Wine & Deli:

• It fits our ethos of combining flavour with responsible sourcing: you get excellent texture & taste and help reduce food waste.

• Vegan-friendly (no eggs/animal products). 

• For every kilogram sold, one portion goes to vulnerable communities via Food for Soul, founded by Chef Massimo Bottura & Lara Gilmore. 

Tasting & serving suggestions:

This Casarecce shape (short twisted) is great at catching sauce in its curves. Try pairing with:

• A bright tomato-herb sauce + shaved Parmigiano (or vegan alternative)

• Roasted seasonal vegetables (e.g., zucchini, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, garlic)

• A richer sauce: mushrooms, kale, and butter to show off how the texture holds up
