Organic Kamut Ditalini Pasta
What it is
This is a small, tube-shaped 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 very small, making it suitable for quick cooking and incorporation into various dishes. This pasta is certified organic, meaning it was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
How people cook with it
Small pasta shapes like ditalini are versatile in the kitchen. They are excellent for soups and pasta salads.
- Hearty soups
- Cold pasta salads
- Quick side dishes
- Baked pasta bakes
To cook, bring a large pot of 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. You can then toss it with your favorite sauce, add it to a soup, or chill it for a pasta salad. The small size means it cooks relatively quickly, making it a convenient option for weeknight meals.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to pasta made from common durum wheat, Kamut ditalini offers a distinct nutty flavor and a chewier texture. Its whole grain nature also means it retains more of the natural bran and germ, contributing to its color and taste.

Home cooks looking for a flavorful and wholesome pasta alternative will appreciate this product.
