How people cook with it
Spaghetti is a foundational ingredient for countless pasta dishes. It pairs wonderfully with a wide range of sauces, from light and fresh to rich and hearty.
- With tomato sauce
- With pesto
- With seafood
- In baked dishes
To prepare Voiello Spaghetti, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, meaning it is tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce, adding a little pasta water if needed to achieve the desired consistency. Serve hot.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other spaghetti brands, Voiello often uses a specific type of durum wheat and a bronze-die extrusion process. This can result in a rougher surface texture that helps sauces adhere better. The cooking properties and final mouthfeel can also be distinct.
