“Kofto” is the Greek word for Italian “Tubetti”: small hollow tubes of pasta. Melissa Kofto are wonderful ingredients for all manner of soups, from classic Minestrone to Pasta e Fagiole and White Bean and Escarole Soup. In Greece, Kofto are often used in “Youvetsi” (or “Giouvetsi”): a traditional casserole made with ground lamb or beef, baked in a light tomato sauce seasoned with garlic and cinnamon and topped with cheese. Melissa Tubetti are a wonderful ingredient for mac and cheese with peas, topped with seasoned breadcrumbs. Once you start working with our Kofto, you will find they pair beautifully with almost any manner of sauce. For a quick and easy accompaniment to a main meal, serve our pasta, al dente, aglio e olio (with garlic sautéed in olive oil), with a light tomato sauce or with creamy pesto. Add small diced veggies or ground meat to your sauce for a delicious main meal that the whole family will love!
