Organic Whole Wheat Penne Rigate Pasta
What it is
This is a package of organic whole wheat penne rigate pasta. Penne rigate means the pasta is cut into short tubes with ridges on the outside. Whole wheat pasta is made from the entire wheat kernel, which gives it a slightly different texture and flavor compared to pasta made from refined flour. The organic certification means it was produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
How people cook with it
Pasta is a versatile staple that can be enjoyed in many different dishes.
- Mixed with sauces
- Baked in casseroles
- Added to soups
- Served as a side dish
To cook this pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it is tender but still has a slight bite. It can also be used in baked dishes or added to hearty soups.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular refined white pasta, whole wheat pasta has a nuttier flavor and a firmer texture. The ridges on the penne rigate shape are designed to hold sauces well, making it a good choice for thicker or chunkier preparations.
