Eden Organic Kamut & Buckwheat Rigatoni
What it is
This is a 100% whole grain pasta made from a blend of organic Kamut khorasan wheat and organic buckwheat. Kamut is an ancient grain known for its nutty flavor and satisfying texture. This pasta offers a unique combination of these two grains, providing a hearty and flavorful base for a variety of dishes. It is a good source of complex carbohydrates.
How people cook with it
This pasta is excellent for creating robust and filling meals. Its distinct flavor profile pairs well with a wide range of sauces and ingredients.
- Hearty pasta salads
- Baked pasta dishes
- Sauced with rich ragu
- Tossed with roasted vegetables
To cook, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the rigatoni and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, meaning it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well and rinse briefly with cool water if using in a cold salad. For hot dishes, drain and immediately toss with your prepared sauce to allow the pasta to absorb the flavors. Avoid overcooking to maintain its texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard durum wheat pasta, this blend offers a deeper, nuttier flavor profile due to the Kamut and buckwheat. Its whole grain composition also contributes to a firmer texture and a more substantial feel in the mouth. The absence of common wheat makes it a choice for those seeking alternatives.
