Organic Kamut Ditalini Pasta
What it is
This is a type of small, tubular pasta made from 100% whole grain Kamut Khorasan wheat. Kamut is an ancient grain known for its nutty flavor and firm texture. The ditalini shape is characterized by its short, thimble-like tubes, making it ideal for capturing sauces and ingredients. This pasta is certified organic, meaning it is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It offers a wholesome alternative to conventional pasta.
How people cook with it
Ditalini pasta is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, from hearty soups to simple pasta salads.
- In hearty soups
- As a base for pasta salads
- With light sauces
- In baked pasta dishes
To cook, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the ditalini pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta well. It can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, added to soups, or chilled for a pasta salad. The small shape makes it easy to distribute evenly throughout a dish.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to pasta made from durum wheat, Kamut ditalini has a distinct nutty flavor and a slightly chewier texture. Its whole grain nature means it retains more of the natural bran and germ, contributing to its unique characteristics and color.
