What it is
They are crafted from a blend of alternative grains and starches to provide a similar texture and taste to traditional pasta. The elbow shape is versatile and holds sauces well, making it a convenient pantry staple.
How people cook with it
This pasta is a versatile base for many meals. It cooks up quickly and absorbs flavors beautifully.
- Macaroni and cheese
- Pasta salads
- Soups
- Side dishes
To prepare, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook according to package directions, typically around 8-11 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta thoroughly. For best results, rinse briefly with cool water if using in a cold salad to stop the cooking process. Toss with your favorite sauce, cheese, or dressing.
How it differs from similar foods
This can result in a slightly different texture when cooked, sometimes a bit softer or chewier depending on the specific blend. They may also absorb liquid differently during cooking.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened package in a cool, dry place. Once opened, seal the bag tightly or transfer to an airtight container to keep the pasta fresh and prevent moisture absorption. Properly stored, it can maintain its quality for an extended period.
