Bowl & Basket Plant-Based Chickpea Spaghetti Pasta, 8 oz
What it is
This is a type of pasta made primarily from chickpea flour. It is designed to offer a plant-based alternative to traditional wheat pasta. The pasta is shaped into long, thin strands, similar to classic spaghetti. The texture and flavor are distinct from wheat-based varieties.
How people cook with it
This pasta can be used in many of the same dishes as regular spaghetti. It pairs well with a variety of sauces and toppings.
- With marinara sauce
- Tossed with pesto
- In pasta salads
- With a light olive oil dressing
To prepare this chickpea spaghetti, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions, typically around 7-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The pasta should be cooked until al dente, meaning it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly in a colander. It is now ready to be combined with your favorite sauce or prepared as desired.
How it differs from similar foods
It also has a slightly denser texture and a more pronounced, earthy flavor profile due to the chickpea base. The cooking time may also vary slightly compared to durum wheat pasta.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused pasta in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry. Ensure the container is sealed tightly.
