La Molisana Pasta Numbering System (Especially Spaghetti)
La Molisana uses a numbering system (e.g., No.15, No.16, No.77) on their packaging to identify specific pasta shapes and variations. These numbers are like unique ID codes for each format, helping distinguish sizes, thicknesses, and shapes within their classic range.
Each La Molisana pasta has its own ID Number🪪
Each number represents their origin, taste, and most appropriate cooking method.
Today, let me decipher the numbers of some of the most popular pasta for you🍝
Spaghetti Specifics:
👑Classic Royal Set
No.15 Spaghetti Pasta: The standard classic spaghetti. Medium thickness, round long strands. The most popular and versatile everyday spaghetti. Cooking time: around 10 minutes.
No.16 / Thin Spaghetti (Spaghettini) : Thinner version of spaghetti. Cooks faster, great for lighter sauces, seafood, or oil-based dishes.
Other variants may include N°15C or similar for specific cuts/packs.
#6 - Linguine Flat Pasta: Spaghetti's good brother, flat noodles are easier to hang with creamy sauce!
#28 - Fusilli Screw Powder: Excellent juice hanging ability, spiral texture locks in the essence of the sauce!
#66 - Farfalle Rigate Butterfly Powder: A favorite for kids and girls, 100 points 🦋
🌀 Q bouncy mouthfeel set
#55 - Chifferi Rigate Macaroni: The crescent-shaped macaroni is unbeatable in baking, cooking, and making salads🥣
#20 - Penne Rigate Long Straight Pasta: The slanted cut design is best paired with rich and flavorful sauces.
#108 & #308 - Fusilli Corti/Lunghi Bucati Curling Powder (Short/Long): The hollow design of the curling powder, smooth and bouncy, brings you a double surprise!
❤️ Special limited group
#1000 - Rigacuore Heart-Shaped Pasta: The romantic representative of heart-shaped pasta 🫶🏻
Use it to cook Valentine's Day/anniversary dinner, full of ceremony, crush your partner!
General Meaning of Numbers
Lower numbers (e.g., 5–17) — Often long pasta like spaghetti, linguine, fettuccine.
Higher numbers (e.g., 28, 77, 100+) — Short pasta shapes like fusilli, mafalda, penne, etc.
The numbers are brand-specific identifiers rather than universal thickness standards (though similar brands sometimes align roughly). They represent the exact shape in La Molisana’s lineup of over 26 classic formats.
This system makes it easy for consumers and retailers to reorder the exact type. For example:
Mafalda Corta (波浪闊條麵 from your previous request) → Often No.77.
Fusilli → Commonly No.28.
