Kroger 100% Whole Grain Thin Spaghetti
What it is
This is a package of thin spaghetti made entirely from whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, which gives the pasta a slightly heartier texture and a nuttier flavor compared to pasta made from refined flour. The thin cut means it cooks more quickly and can absorb sauces well.
How people cook with it
Thin whole wheat spaghetti is a versatile pasta that pairs well with a variety of sauces and ingredients.
- With marinara sauce
- In pasta salads
- With pesto
- As a base for stir-fries
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the thin spaghetti and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your desired sauce, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the strands.
How it differs from similar foods
