These are small, curved pasta shapes made from whole grain brown rice. They are a good alternative for those seeking to avoid wheat-based pasta. The natural color comes from the bran and germ of the brown rice grain. They are a pantry staple for many households.
These pasta elbows are versatile and can be incorporated into a variety of dishes.
To cook, bring a large pot of unsalted water to a rolling boil. Add the brown rice elbows and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly in a colander. Rinse with cool water if using in a cold salad. They can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, vegetables, or other ingredients.
Compared to traditional wheat pasta, brown rice elbows have a slightly chewier texture and a nuttier flavor profile. Their color is also a distinct golden brown, reflecting the whole grain nature of the rice.
