Amarone Dry Pasta - Garden Blend
What it is
This is a dry pasta product made with a blend of durum wheat semolina and dehydrated vegetables. The vegetables are finely incorporated into the pasta dough, giving it flecks of color and subtle flavor. It is shaped into a common pasta form, ready to be cooked and served. The pasta is dried for preservation and ease of storage.
How people cook with it
This pasta is a versatile base for many dishes. It can be paired with a wide range of sauces and ingredients.
- With a light tomato sauce
- Tossed with pesto
- In pasta salads
- With olive oil and garlic
To prepare this pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dry 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 well, reserving some of the cooking water. You can then toss it directly with your chosen sauce or ingredients, adding a little of the reserved pasta water to help the sauce coat the pasta evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain pasta, this garden blend pasta contains dehydrated vegetables, which add a hint of natural flavor and visual appeal. This can create a more complex taste profile in simple preparations compared to standard durum wheat pasta.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for an easy way to add a touch of vegetable flavor and color to their meals will appreciate this pasta.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused pasta in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry.
