Chewy Italian couscous, also called freula, is a Sardinian-style toasted semolina pasta. It comes in small, medium and large grains and is available at specialty food stores. Any small pasta, such as ditalini, orzo or acini de pepe, makes a good alternative to medium-grain freula. Fast Weekday Pastas
