To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, meaning it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly. It can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, added to soups, or used in baked dishes. For pasta salads, cook until tender, drain, and rinse with cold water before mixing with other ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh pasta, dried pasta has a firmer texture and requires boiling before consumption. Its longer shelf life makes it a convenient option for stocking the pantry. The small, tubular shape of this particular pasta allows it to capture sauces and small ingredients effectively.

How to keep the rest
Store the remaining dried pasta in its original packaging or an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is kept away from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage. Properly stored, it can last for a considerable amount of time.
