Macaroni originates from southern Italy. It is a short, curved pasta. This version is made from red lentils and as a result has a slightly deeper colour.
Like a lot of gluten free pastas they can be softer than their wheat based equivalents, however red lentil pasta can hold up a bit better than a gluten free rice pasta. So if you value a bit of bite than this organic red lentil macaroni is a good substitute.

Pasta d’alba is an organic pasta company founded by the Mainardi family in the hills around Alba, Italy. Alba is a region famous for its truffles, hazelnuts and has a long history of artisan, small-scale food production. The Mainardi family has been farming organically here since the 1980's, long before it was fashionable. The business is now run by three siblings, Luisa, Marco and Laura, who have kept the artisan, hands-on approach while letting modern machinery take care of the repetitive bits.
