Organic Durum Semolina Angel Hair Pasta
What it is
This is a package of organic angel hair pasta made from durum semolina. Angel hair is a very thin variety of pasta. Durum semolina is a hard wheat that is commonly used for pasta making. The pasta is described as bronze cut, which means it was extruded through bronze dies. This process gives the pasta a rougher surface texture. The pasta is also certified organic, meaning it was produced without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.
How people cook with it
This pasta is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many different dishes. It cooks quickly due to its thinness.
- Quick weeknight dinners
- Light pasta salads
- Side dish for seafood
- Base for delicate sauces
To cook this angel hair pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir immediately to prevent it from sticking together. Cook for a short time, typically 3-5 minutes, until al dente, which means it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving a little of the cooking water. Toss the drained pasta with your chosen sauce, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the strands evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
The bronze-cut surface creates a rougher texture compared to Teflon-cut pasta. This rougher texture helps sauces cling better. Angel hair pasta is much thinner than spaghetti, resulting in a quicker cooking time and a lighter mouthfeel.
