Eden Organic Kamut & Quinoa Twisted Pair Pasta
What it is
This is a unique pasta made from a blend of organic kamut and organic quinoa. It is crafted to be 100% whole grain, offering a distinct texture and flavor profile. The pasta is shaped into a twisted pair, which helps it hold sauces well. It is a good source of complex carbohydrates and provides a satisfying meal base.
How people cook with it
This pasta is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes. Its unique blend makes it stand out from traditional wheat pasta.
- As a base for pasta salads
- Tossed with pesto and vegetables
- Served with a hearty meat sauce
- Mixed into a creamy mushroom sauce
To prepare, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well. You can then toss it with your favorite sauce, add vegetables, or incorporate it into a casserole. The twisted shape is excellent for capturing and distributing sauces evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional durum wheat pasta, this product uses ancient grains, kamut and quinoa. This combination offers a slightly nuttier flavor and a firmer texture. The whole grain nature means it retains more of the grain's natural components compared to refined pasta.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining pasta in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry. Ensure the container is sealed tightly.
