Campanelli — Zelli Pasta

2026-03-21T12:39:03-07:00

Campanelli means "bellflowers" in Italian — fluted, petal-like edges wrapped around a hollow center. The ruffled rim catches chunky ingredients while the hollow tube fills with sauce. One of the more elegant short shapes, and one that works particularly well with cream sauces, vegetable ragùs, or anything with sausage. Substantial enough to stand up to bold flavors.

Zelli is a family-owned pasta maker in Springdale, Arkansas, founded by Mitchell Owen and Angelina Bowen. Their bronze dies are custom-made in Italy — the rough, porous surface they leave on the pasta is what makes sauce cling rather than slide off. Organic North American durum semolina, slow dried at low temperatures to preserve flavor and nutrition. Two ingredients: flour and water.
