Organic Brown Rice and Quinoa Penne Pasta
What it is
This is a dry pasta made from a blend of organic brown rice flour and quinoa flour. The combination of these grains provides a unique texture and flavor profile. The pasta is shaped into penne, which are short tubes with angled ends, making them versatile for various dishes.
How people cook with it
This pasta can be used in many of the same ways as regular pasta. It is a base for many different kinds of meals.
- Mixed with sauces
- Baked into casseroles
- Added to pasta salads
- Served with vegetables
To prepare this pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dry pasta to the boiling water and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions, typically for 8-12 minutes, until the pasta is tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly in a colander. It can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, added to soups, or chilled for a pasta salad. Ensure the water is plentiful to allow the pasta to cook evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
The brown rice provides a slightly nuttier flavor and a firmer bite, while the quinoa adds a subtle earthiness and a different texture. It may absorb sauces slightly differently than traditional pasta.
How to keep the rest
Store the uncooked pasta in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry or cupboard. Keep it in its original packaging or an airtight container to protect it from moisture and pests. Once cooked, store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
