Meet Cubetti: Built for Spoonfuls. Made for Slowing Down.

Small, hollow, and built to catch flavor from every angle, Cubetti is one of Italy’s most charming pasta shapes. Traditionally served in brothy soups, stews, and slow-simmered dishes, it has a nostalgic feel to every bite. The kind of comfort food that reminds us of crowded tables, simple ingredients cooked slowly, and plenty of second helpings. 

You won’t find it in the pasta aisle… until now.

While Cubetti is beloved in traditional Italian cooking, it’s surprisingly hard to find in the pasta aisle, especially in the US. That rarity is part of what makes the shape feel so special. Timelessly crafted in Italy using the same old-world approach behind all of our pasta, Brami Cubetti is made from just two simple ingredients: durum wheat semolina and lupini superbeans. 

Cubetti is uniquely designed to hold up to slow-simmered dishes, making it the perfect companion for broths, stews, and cozy meals. But it can play outside the soup bowl, too. Toss it into your next pasta salad. Add it to a grain bowl. Or put together an easy weeknight dinner that everyone at the table can enjoy. 

And yes, bambini love grabbing it by the fistful.

Small in size, rich in texture, and full of personality, Cubetti brings a little more warmth to whatever’s on the table. 

Recipes to Try With Cubetti

Cubetti was made for meals that invite a slower pace. Brothy soups, cozy pasta bowls, and recipes built around texture and comfort. Its hollow center catches broth and sauce, making every spoonful feel layered, flavorful, and satisfying. 

But Cubetti isn’t just for soups. Toss it into a bright pasta fredda for your next beach trip or serve it alongside an alfresco summer dinner. The shape is just as good at catching lemony vinaigrettes, fresh herbs, and punchy seasonal flavors.
