How people cook with it
This pasta is a versatile base for many meals. It pairs well with a wide range of sauces and ingredients.

To cook, bring a large pot of lightly 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 should be tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving a little of the cooking water. Return the drained pasta to the pot or a serving bowl. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the strands evenly.
