Simply Nature Organic Edamame Spaghetti
What it is
This is a unique pasta made primarily from organic edamame, a type of soybean. It is a good option for those looking to incorporate more legumes into their diet. The pasta is typically dried and packaged for convenience.
How people cook with it
This pasta can be used in many of the same ways as regular spaghetti. It is a versatile ingredient for weeknight meals.
- As a base for pasta salads
- Tossed with pesto and vegetables
- Served with marinara sauce
- Mixed into stir-fries
To prepare, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the edamame spaghetti and cook according to package directions, usually around 5-7 minutes. It is important not to overcook it, as it can become mushy. Drain the pasta well. It also works well chilled in pasta salads or added to hot dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Its green hue is also a visual difference. It cooks a bit faster than many wheat pastas.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused portions of the dried pasta in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to prevent moisture from entering, which can cause the pasta to spoil or become stale. Properly stored, it will maintain its quality for an extended period.
