What it is
This is a package of dry pasta made from durum wheat semolina and water. It is a staple food that is dried for preservation. The pasta is shaped into a common form, suitable for a wide range of dishes. It is a versatile pantry item that can be stored for a long time before cooking.
How people cook with it
Dry pasta is a fundamental ingredient in many cuisines. It serves as the base for countless meals, absorbing flavors from sauces and other additions.
- As a base for pasta salads
- Mixed with sauces
- In baked dishes
- As a side dish
To prepare, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dry 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 well, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce, or rinse with cold water if using in a cold dish like pasta salad. The reserved pasta water can be added to sauces to help them emulsify and cling better to the pasta.
