Schnucks Whole Wheat Rotini
What it is
This is a type of pasta made from whole wheat flour. It is shaped into short, corkscrew-like spirals. Whole wheat pasta is made from the entire wheat kernel, including the bran and germ. This gives it a slightly different texture and flavor compared to pasta made from refined flour. It is a pantry staple for many households.
How people cook with it
Rotini is a versatile pasta shape that works well in many dishes. Its twists and turns are excellent for holding onto sauces.
- Pasta salads
- Baked pasta dishes
- With hearty sauces
- In soups
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the rotini 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. It can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, added to a salad, or incorporated into a casserole. For best results, do not overcook the pasta.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular pasta made from refined flour, whole wheat rotini has a nuttier flavor and a firmer texture. It also contains more of the wheat kernel's natural components. This can make it a more substantial choice for meals.
