What it is

How people cook with it
This pasta is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a good choice for both simple weeknight meals and more elaborate preparations.
- Baked pasta dishes
- Pasta salads
- Soups
- Side dishes
To cook Coquis Pâtes Fermiéres, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta 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 bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly. You can then toss it with your favorite sauce, add it to soups, or incorporate it into a cold pasta salad. The ridges on the pasta help to capture and hold sauces, making each bite flavorful.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to smooth pasta shapes, the ridged exterior of Coquis Pâtes Fermiéres provides more surface area for sauces to adhere to. The hollow center also allows sauces to fill the pasta, enhancing the overall taste experience. This makes it particularly well-suited for heartier, thicker sauces.
