What it is
This is a package of pasta made from organic brown rice. The pasta is shaped into a common form, suitable for many types of sauces. The organic certification indicates that the brown rice used was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It offers a different texture and flavor profile compared to traditional wheat-based pasta.
How people cook with it
This pasta can be used in a wide variety of dishes where regular pasta is called for. It holds up well in both hot and cold preparations.
- Main dish pasta
- Pasta salads
- Baked pasta dishes
- Side dish
To prepare this brown rice pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually around 8-10 minutes, until it reaches your desired tenderness. Drain the pasta well and rinse with cool water if using in a cold salad. It can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, vegetables, or other ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused pasta in an airtight container at room temperature. Keep it in a cool, dry place to maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing odors from the pantry.
