Pozars

Pozars, also known as Pozar's, are a type of traditional Italian pasta that originated in the region of Emilia-Romagna. They are characterized by their distinctive shape, which resembles a small, twisted ribbon or a spiral. Pozars are typically made from durum wheat semolina, which gives them a firm texture and a slightly nutty flavor. The pasta is often served with a variety of sauces, including ragù (meat-based sauce), pesto, or a simple tomato sauce. Due to their unique shape, Pozars are often used in dishes where the pasta needs to hold onto the sauce, such as lasagna or stuffed pasta dishes. The name "Pozar" is believed to derive from the Italian word "pozzare," meaning "to dig," reflecting the pasta's twisted shape, which resembles a small hole or pit. Pozars are a versatile and delicious addition to any Italian-inspired meal.
