How people cook with it
This pasta is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes. It pairs well with both light and robust sauces.
- With pesto sauce
- In pasta salads
- With hearty meat sauces
- As a side dish
To cook this pasta, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, meaning it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving a little of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your favorite sauce, adding a splash of the reserved water if needed to help the sauce coat the pasta evenly. Serve hot.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike standard durum wheat pasta, this 7 grains variety offers a more complex flavor and a slightly firmer texture. The blend of different grains contributes a nutty undertone and a more substantial feel in the mouth. This makes it a more interesting alternative for those who enjoy exploring different pasta characteristics.
