Publix 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, germ, and endosperm of the wheat kernel. This results in a pasta with a slightly heartier texture and a nuttier flavor compared to pasta made with refined flour. It is a good source of carbohydrates for energy and is a staple in many kitchens.
How people cook with it
Spaghetti is a versatile pasta shape that pairs well with a wide variety of sauces and ingredients.
- With marinara sauce
- With pesto
- In baked pasta dishes
- 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 and toss immediately with your desired sauce or ingredients. For baked dishes, you might cook it slightly less before combining with other ingredients and baking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular refined white spaghetti, this whole grain version has a darker color and a more robust, earthy taste. Its texture is also typically a bit firmer, even when cooked to the same degree. This difference comes from the inclusion of the entire wheat kernel.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a pasta option with a more substantial flavor and texture often choose whole grain varieties.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused spaghetti in an airtight container or the original packaging, sealed tightly. Keep it in a cool, dry place like a pantry to maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors from other foods.
