Rombi are a typical pasta shape from the rural culinary tradition of the Abruzzo region. The pasta is a variety of "sagne" cut into diamond shapes and widely used in the mountain districts.
Traditionally, this type of pasta was served with fish based sauces, sauces made from chicken and duck, and was widely used in rural cooking in the Abruzzo region, or with lamb based sauces, typical of the mountain districts.
Rombi are also ideal for preparing bean soups or with meat ragùs and tomato sauce.

Pasta shapes that resemble small animals found in the garden or in fields are not uncommon.
Some people claim that Lumache (snails) can be traced back to the tradition of Roman cooking while others maintain that this type of pasta originated more generically from the central-southern part of Italy.
Lumachine (little snails), a smaller variation of the classic Pipe, are a whimsical shape and have always been considered a great pasta for any kind of sauce for all the family because children love it too thanks to its small, attractive shape.
Lumachine are best used in broths, or in vegetable or bean soups. This pasta is also excellent for preparing very delicate pasta dishes with light tomato and basil sauces.
