What it is
This is a type of dried pasta made from enriched flour and vegetable ingredients. It is shaped into long, thin strands, commonly known as spaghetti. The enrichment process adds back certain nutrients that may be lost during processing. The vegetable component contributes to its color and potentially subtle flavor notes. It is a shelf-stable pantry staple.
How people cook with it

To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and stir gently 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 thoroughly. It can then be combined with your favorite sauce, oil, or butter and served immediately. Avoid rinsing unless the recipe specifically calls for it, as the starch helps sauces adhere.
