Weis Tri-Color Rotini with Tomato and Spinach
What it is
This is a tri-color rotini pasta infused with tomato and spinach. The pasta is made with enriched flour, giving it a pleasant texture. The vibrant colors come from natural vegetable additions, making it visually appealing. It's a convenient pantry staple for quick meals.
How people cook with it
This rotini is versatile and works well in a variety of dishes. It holds sauces beautifully and adds a touch of color to any plate.
- Pasta salads
- Baked pasta dishes
- Simple weeknight dinners
- Side dishes
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the rotini and cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. The reserved pasta water can be used to help emulsify sauces, making them richer and better able to coat the pasta.
How it differs from similar foods
The tri-color aspect, achieved through the addition of tomato and spinach, distinguishes it from plain pasta. This offers a subtle flavor variation and a more interesting visual presentation compared to standard white or whole wheat rotini.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is sealed properly to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. This will keep the pasta from becoming stale or attracting pests.
