Kazidomi Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
What it is
This is a package of whole wheat penne pasta. Penne are tube-shaped pasta with angled ends. This pasta is made from whole wheat flour, meaning it includes the entire wheat kernel. This gives it a slightly heartier texture and a nuttier flavor compared to pasta made with refined flour. It is a versatile pantry staple for many different meals.
How people cook with it
Penne pasta is a popular choice for a wide range of dishes, from simple weeknight meals to more elaborate pasta bakes.
- Tossed with pesto
- Baked in casseroles
- Mixed into pasta salads
- Served with hearty sauces
To cook this penne, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. You can then toss it with your favorite sauce, add it to a salad, or bake it into a dish. The reserved pasta water can be used to help emulsify sauces and make them cling better to the pasta.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular penne made from refined flour, whole wheat penne has a darker color and a more robust flavor. Its texture is also slightly firmer. This difference comes from using the entire wheat grain, including the bran and germ, which are removed in refined flour.
