Hemp Tagliatelle Pasta
What it is
This is a type of dried pasta made with durum wheat flour and hemp flour. The addition of hemp flour gives the pasta a unique color and a slightly different texture compared to traditional wheat pasta. It is a shelf-stable product, ready to be cooked and incorporated into various dishes. The pasta is shaped like tagliatelle, which are long, flat ribbons.
How people cook with it
Hemp tagliatelle can be used in many of the same ways as regular tagliatelle. It pairs well with a variety of sauces and ingredients.
- With creamy mushroom sauces
- Tossed with pesto and cherry tomatoes
- Served with a light lemon and herb dressing
- As a base for seafood pasta dishes
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the hemp tagliatelle and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions, typically for 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta well, reserving a small amount of the cooking water. Return the drained pasta to the pot or a serving bowl. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce, adding a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the strands evenly. Serve hot.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard durum wheat tagliatelle, hemp tagliatelle has a slightly nuttier flavor and a more pronounced texture. Its color is also typically a deeper, more earthy hue due to the presence of hemp flour.
