What it is
This is a package of enriched spaghetti, a type of pasta made from durum wheat semolina. It is a staple food in many cuisines, known for its versatility and ability to pair with a wide range of sauces and ingredients.

How people cook with it
Spaghetti is a foundational ingredient for countless dishes. It serves as the perfect base for both simple and elaborate meals.
- Sauced with marinara
- Tossed with pesto
- Baked in casseroles
- Served with meatballs
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions, typically around 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Al dente means the pasta is cooked through but still has a slight firmness to the bite. Drain the spaghetti well, reserving a little of the cooking water. Return the drained pasta to the pot or a serving bowl and toss immediately with your chosen sauce to prevent sticking. The reserved pasta water can be added to thin out sauces if needed.
