Flora Fine Foods Bavette Flavored Pasta
What it is
This is a type of flavored pasta made from durum wheat semolina. It is shaped into short, flat strands, resembling small ribbons. The pasta is infused with flavor during the manufacturing process. It is a dry product, meaning it is shelf-stable and intended to be cooked in boiling water before serving. This particular variety is plant-based.
How people cook with it
This pasta is a versatile ingredient for creating a variety of dishes. Its unique shape and flavor make it suitable for both simple and elaborate meals.
- As a side dish
- In pasta salads
- With light sauces
- As a base for main courses
To prepare, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the bavette 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 a small amount of the cooking water. Toss the drained pasta with your chosen sauce, a drizzle of olive oil, or butter. The reserved pasta water can be used to help emulsify and thicken sauces.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain pasta, this bavette is pre-flavored, offering an added layer of taste without the need for additional seasonings in the cooking water. Its flat, ribbon-like shape holds sauces well, and the texture is distinct from round or tubular pasta shapes.

How to keep the rest
Store the uncooked pasta in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the packaging is sealed tightly after opening to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. Properly stored, it can last for a long time.
