Mueller's 100% Whole Grain Thin Spaghetti
What it is
This is a package of thin spaghetti made entirely from whole grain wheat. Whole grains include all parts of the wheat kernel: the bran, germ, and endosperm. This pasta offers a slightly heartier texture and a more robust flavor compared to pasta made with refined flour. It cooks up to a tender yet firm bite, making it a versatile base for many dishes.
How people cook with it
Whole grain thin spaghetti is a popular choice for weeknight meals and can be dressed up for more formal occasions.
- With marinara sauce
- In pasta salads
- With pesto
- As a side dish
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the entire package of thin spaghetti, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight firmness when bitten. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your favorite sauce, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the strands evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional refined white spaghetti, this whole grain version has a darker hue and a slightly nuttier taste. Its texture is also a bit more substantial. The whole grain content contributes to its unique characteristics.
