Safeway Egg Whites Extra Wide Noodle Style Pasta
What it is
This is a package of dried pasta made with egg whites. It is shaped into wide noodles, similar to fettuccine or tagliatelle. The pasta is designed to be cooked in boiling water. It offers a different texture and flavor profile compared to traditional pasta made with whole eggs or just flour and water. The egg whites contribute to its structure and cooking properties.
How people cook with it
This pasta is a versatile base for many dishes. It cooks quickly and absorbs sauces well.
- Tossed with pesto
- Served with a creamy Alfredo sauce
- Mixed into a stir-fry
- Added to a hearty soup
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually around 8-10 minutes, until al dente, which means it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly. It is now ready to be combined with your favorite sauce or added to other dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular egg noodles, this pasta uses only egg whites, which can result in a lighter color and a slightly different chew. It also differs from standard durum wheat pasta by incorporating egg whites for a distinct texture and richness without the yolk.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a pasta option that cooks quickly and pairs well with various sauces.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened package in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, ensure the package is sealed tightly to keep out moisture and air, which can affect the pasta's texture and freshness. Proper storage helps maintain its quality for future use.
