Ah, pasta: a must-have that appeals to everyone. Simple to prepare, it’s a quick dish to cook. You just have to choose your favorite variety … and above all, knowing how to plan the portions to cook, which is not always easy.

Surely inspired by her daily life, Alesia Lurtcevich has designed a specific packaging, which allows the portions of spaghetti to be dosed directly.

For the opening, nothing easier: thanks to a pre-cutting system, it is enough to pull on the tabs to open the chosen portion and voila. What avoid food waste, or on the contrary, the cravings “surprises”. A smart innovation, which perhaps, will inspire the big brands.
