How people cook with it
These pasta pieces are perfect for adding a delightful crunch to your favorite meals.
- Toasted in soups
- Sprinkled on salads
- Added to casseroles
- As a crunchy snack
To use Mandl'n in soups, simply add them during the last few minutes of cooking to allow them to soften slightly while retaining some crispness. For salads, they can be added directly before serving to provide a contrasting texture. They are also excellent when lightly toasted in a dry pan or oven until golden brown, which intensifies their nutty flavor and makes them even crunchier. Some people enjoy them straight from the bag as a savory snack.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike larger pasta shapes that require boiling, Mandl'n are pre-cooked and baked, making them ready to eat or add to dishes without further preparation. Their small size and crisp texture are specifically engineered for topping applications, providing a different culinary experience than traditional boiled pasta.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for an easy way to add texture and interest to everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any unused Mandl'n in an airtight container at room temperature. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to prevent moisture from entering, which can cause them to become soft and lose their appealing crunch over time.
