100% Whole Wheat Spaghetti
What it is
This is a type of pasta made entirely from whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes all parts of the grain kernel: the bran, germ, and endosperm. This composition gives the pasta a distinct texture and flavor compared to pasta made from refined flour. It is a staple in many kitchens for its versatility and satisfying bite.
How people cook with it
Spaghetti is a classic pasta shape enjoyed in countless dishes. Its long, thin strands are perfect for coating with sauces.
- Tossed with marinara sauce
- Served with pesto
- Mixed into pasta salads
- Baked with cheese
To cook, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dry spaghetti and stir 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 a little of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your favorite sauce, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce cling to the strands.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional refined white flour spaghetti, this whole wheat version has a slightly chewier texture and a nuttier, more robust flavor. The presence of the entire wheat kernel contributes to its darker color and denser feel.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused spaghetti in an airtight container or resealable bag in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing odors from the pantry.
