Creamette
Protein Penne
What it is
It is shaped like short tubes with angled ends, a classic penne shape. It cooks similarly to regular pasta and can be used in a wide variety of dishes. The texture is firm when cooked al dente.
How people cook with it
This pasta is a versatile ingredient for many meals. It works well in both hot and cold preparations.
- Baked pasta dishes
- Pasta salads
- Sauced pasta meals
- Soups
Add the pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to the package directions until it reaches your desired tenderness, typically al dente. Drain the pasta thoroughly. It can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, added to soups, or chilled for salads. Ensure the water is plentiful to allow the pasta to move freely while cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
This can result in a slightly different texture or cooking behavior, though the classic penne shape is maintained.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused, cooked pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within 2 to 3 days. For uncooked pasta, keep it in a cool, dry place in its original packaging to maintain freshness.
