How people cook with it
Thin spaghetti is a popular choice for weeknight meals and family dinners. It pairs well with a wide range of sauces and ingredients.
- With marinara sauce
- In pasta salads

- As a side dish
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the thin spaghetti and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your desired sauce or ingredients. The thin strands cook faster than thicker varieties, so keep a close eye on them to avoid overcooking.
