How people cook with it
This pasta is a great base for many meals, from simple weeknight dinners to more elaborate culinary creations.
- Tossed with pesto
- Mixed into pasta salads
- Served with marinara sauce
- Baked in casseroles
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook according to package directions, typically for a shorter duration than traditional pasta. It is important to test for doneness by tasting a piece; it should be tender but still have a slight firmness. Drain the pasta thoroughly and rinse briefly with cool water if using in a cold salad, or proceed directly to your sauce.
How it differs from similar foods
This results in a different texture, which can sometimes be softer or slightly chewier depending on the specific blend.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused, uncooked pasta in its original packaging in a cool, dry place. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. Once cooked, refrigerate any leftovers within two hours and consume within a few days.
