Organic Spelt Spaghetti
What it is
This is a package of spaghetti made from organic spelt flour. Spelt is an ancient grain that has a nutty flavor and a slightly different texture than common wheat. The pasta is dried and shaped into long, thin strands, ready to be cooked and served with your favorite sauce. It is a pantry staple for many home cooks.
How people cook with it
Spaghetti is a versatile pasta shape that pairs well with a wide variety of sauces and ingredients. It is a foundation for many simple and elaborate meals.
- With marinara sauce
- Tossed with pesto
- In pasta salads
- With olive oil and garlic
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spelt spaghetti 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, reserving a little of the cooking water. Return the drained spaghetti to the pot and toss with your chosen sauce, adding a splash of the reserved water if needed to help the sauce coat the pasta evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
Spelt pasta has a distinct flavor profile compared to traditional durum wheat spaghetti. It often has a slightly chewier texture and a nuttier, more complex taste. The color may also be a bit darker due to the whole grain content of the spelt flour.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for an alternative to standard wheat pasta will appreciate this organic spelt option.
