Full Circle Organic Whole Wheat Spaghetti
What it is
This is a package of whole wheat spaghetti, a type of pasta made from durum wheat flour. It is organic, meaning it was produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Whole wheat pasta contains the entire wheat kernel, including the bran and germ, which gives it a slightly different texture and flavor compared to refined white pasta. The strands are long and cylindrical, a classic shape for many Italian-inspired dishes.
How people cook with it
Spaghetti is a versatile pasta that forms the base of countless meals. It pairs well with a wide variety of sauces and toppings.
- With marinara sauce
- With pesto
- In pasta bakes
- With meatballs
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 firm to the bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. You can then toss it directly with your prepared sauce in the pot, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the strands evenly. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular white spaghetti, whole wheat spaghetti has a nuttier flavor and a slightly chewier texture due to the presence of the entire wheat grain. Its color is also a bit darker, a light brown hue, distinguishing it visually from the pale yellow of refined pasta.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a hearty pasta option often choose whole wheat spaghetti.
How to keep the rest
