On 17 March, the world turns green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day \u2014 the Irish festival that has become a global symbol of good luck and togetherness. What if luck could come to the table too, in the form of pasta? Our Green Quadrifoglio is exactly that: an exclusive shape, flavoured with spinach, that combines symbol and flavour in every bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does the green quadrifoglio bring luck?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Legend has it that St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the mystery of the Trinity to the Irish. But finding a four-leaf clover \u2014 the four-leafed variant, extremely rare in nature \u2014 has always been considered a sign of extraordinary luck. And tradition says that on 17 March this luck doubles: finding a green four-leaf clover on St. Patrick's Day is worth twice as much. We turned it into pasta, so luck is guaranteed for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A unique shape, only from us<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Green Quadrifoglio is part of our exclusive pasta shapes, born from the creativity of Antonino and Mario, master pasta makers from Gragnano for four generations. It is made from 100% Italian durum wheat semolina and enriched with dehydrated spinach, which gives it that intense green colour and a delicate flavour. But the shape is more than aesthetic: every petal of the green quadrifoglio holds the sauce beautifully, ensuring every forkful is perfectly dressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
