Organic Whole Wheat Spaghetti
What it is
This is a type of pasta made from 100% whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes the bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat kernel, which gives it a slightly darker color and a more robust flavor compared to pasta made with refined flour. It is a good source of carbohydrates for energy. This product is certified organic, meaning it was produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
How people cook with it
Whole wheat spaghetti is a versatile pasta that can be used in many dishes. It holds up well to hearty sauces.
- With marinara sauce
- In baked pasta dishes
- Tossed with pesto
- As a base for pasta salads
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti 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. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your favorite sauce, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the strands evenly. Serve hot.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular refined white spaghetti, whole wheat spaghetti has a nuttier flavor and a chewier texture. Its darker color comes from the inclusion of the entire wheat kernel.
