Portuguese soup pasta for canja

Canja de galinha needs small pasta. Milaneza Pevide (risoni) is the classic, with Estrelinha (stars), letras (alphabet) and bagos as alternatives. Fine Aletria goes into soups too, and it's the base of the Christmas dessert of the same name, cooked in sweet milk with lemon and cinnamon.

Carolino rice vs Agulha rice

Caçarola Carolino rice is creamy and absorbent, the traditional choice for saucy Portuguese rice dishes like arroz de marisco, arroz de tomate and arroz de tamboril. Caçarola Agulha is long-grain rice that cooks up loose and dry: the everyday side dish and our best-selling rice. Parboiled, brown, basmati and risotto rice are here too.

Milaneza pasta shapes

Milaneza is made from 100% durum wheat semolina. Choose esparguete (spaghetti), macarronete (penne), cotovelinhos (elbows) for weeknight soups, espirais (fusilli), laços (farfalle), and conchas gigantes for stuffing. Linguine, fettuccine, rigatoni, whole wheat spaghetti and tricolor shapes round out the range.
