It's a dish that my mother made when she was alive. That is the best pasta noodle of sorts for this salad Review: Worth the search to find this tiny pasta - I could not find this in my local store and it was the much needed ingredient for my Italian wedding soup. I’m so glad I was able to find it on desertcart and have it sent quickly. These do expand the longer they’re in liquid, so be prepared that it may only take a half a cup of dry noodles to make a large pot of soup. Taste is great texture is wonderful. Just be prepared. They look small but they do expand. ## Features - Belong to the soup pasta cuts - Country Of Origin: Italy - Item Package Dimension: 7.2" L x 5.26" W x 3.51" H - Item Package Weight: 1.08 lb ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0000D17HA | | Age Range Description | 4+ | | Best Sellers Rank | #59,980 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #474 in Italian Pasta | | Brand | De Cecco | | Brand Name | De Cecco | | Coin Variety 1 | Acini Di Pepe | | Container Type | Bag | | Cuisine | Italian | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 818 Reviews | | Diet Type | Kosher | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Package Weight | 0.48 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | De Cecco | | Model Number | 00075564 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 16 | | Package Information | Bag | | Part Number | 00075564 | | Set Name | Single Item Set | | Size | 16 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | UPC | 024094070787 786173849386 | | Unit Count | 16.0 Ounce | | Variety | Acini Di Pepe | ## Product Details - **Brand:** De Cecco - **Item Weight:** 16 ounces - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Package Information:** Bag - **Variety:** Acini Di Pepe ## Images ![De Cecco Acini Di Pepe, 16oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pO1OscswL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this gluten free** A: I think you have to specifically order the gluten free one. **Q: Is this really $10 for 1 box of 1# pasta?** A: Search for "pastina acini de pepe 5" and you can find 5 boxes for less than $20. **Q: How many packages are in this item?** A: one package **Q: 16 ounces acini de pepe equals how many cups cooked?** A: 1 cup dry =6 ounces cooked very small pasta for soups n salads ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful pasta for an salad *by D***E on October 17, 2025* My daughter and daughter eat what's called Frog Eye Salad.
