Fregola or giant couscous is a pearl-shaped pasta, similar to Israeli Couscous, that hails from Sardina, Italy. It is made by hand, by rubbing semolina flour and water together, into tiny pearls, which are then toasted- yielding a beautiful nutty, earthy flavour.
Use it where you would couscous or orzo, adding a toasted dimension to hot and cold side dishes. Small and chewy like a grain, fregola makes a great base for pasta salads and sauced dishes alike.
