100% Whole Grain Spaghetti
What it is
This is a package of spaghetti made entirely from whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, which are removed when making refined white flour. This gives the pasta a slightly different texture and a heartier flavor. It is a common pantry staple for many households.

To cook this spaghetti, bring a large pot of generously 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 the drained spaghetti with your favorite sauce immediately, adding a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the strands evenly. Serve hot.
