Severino Pasta Traditional Sicilian Arancini Balls, 12 oz - 9/Case

Severino Pasta Traditional Sicilian Arancini Balls are authentic Italian rice balls (arancini) inspired by classic Sicilian street food. Each 12-ounce package (sold in cases of 9) contains hand-rolled, frozen arancini made with arborio rice infused with saffron for a subtle golden hue and aromatic flavor. 

Description

•  Traditional Sicilian Style: These arancini feature a creamy, saffron-scented arborio rice exterior that forms a crispy, golden breaded shell when cooked. Inside, they’re generously stuffed with a savory filling of ground beef, peas, and cheese — a hallmark of classic Sicilian ragù-style arancini. 

•  Hand-Rolled Quality: Produced by Severino Pasta Company (a family-owned business specializing in artisanal Italian pasta since 1971), they emphasize quality ingredients and traditional techniques.

•  Versatility: Excellent as an appetizer, side dish, or party snack. Serve them hot with marinara sauce for dipping to enhance the Italian flavors.

•  Convenience: Pre-made and frozen, making them easy to prepare in a foodservice or home setting. They come in a 12 oz bag (typically yielding about 3 servings, depending on size).

Preparation

As frozen products, they are typically deep-fried, pan-fried, or baked from frozen until golden and crispy with a hot, melty interior. Exact instructions (e.g., oven temperature or frying time) aren’t universally listed online, so follow the package directions for best results — they crisp up beautifully thanks to the panko breadcrumbs and rice starch.

Overall, these arancini deliver a premium, restaurant-quality take on a beloved Sicilian classic: crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside with the comforting combo of meat, peas, and cheesy goodness. They’re a great addition for Italian-themed meals or appetizers.
