Mueller's
Mueller's 100% Whole Grain Spaghetti
What it is
This is a pasta made entirely from whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, which are typically removed in refined white flour. This gives the pasta a slightly different texture and a more robust flavor profile. It is a good pantry staple for many households.
How people cook with it
This type of pasta is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes.
- With marinara sauce
- In baked pasta dishes
- With pesto
- As a side dish
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the 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 favorite sauce, adding a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the strands evenly. Serve hot.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional refined white pasta, this whole grain version has a darker color and a nuttier taste. Its texture can also be slightly firmer, providing a more substantial bite. The whole grain content contributes to these differences.

How to keep the rest
Store any uncooked pasta in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry, in its original packaging or an airtight container. Ensure it is sealed to prevent moisture absorption and pest infestation. Properly stored, it can maintain its quality for an extended period.
