What it is
This is a package of rotini-shaped pasta made from organic durum wheat. Rotini, meaning 'little twists' in Italian, is a corkscrew-shaped pasta that is excellent at holding sauces. The organic certification means it was produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, adhering to specific agricultural standards. This pasta is a pantry staple for many households.
How people cook with it
Pasta is a versatile base for countless meals. It can be served hot as a main course or cold in salads.
- Mixed with pesto

To prepare this pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the rotini and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving a little of the cooking water to help emulsify sauces. Toss immediately with your favorite sauce, vegetables, or proteins to create a satisfying dish. It is also suitable for baking in casseroles.
