Eden Organic Spelt & Buckwheat Gemelli Pasta
What it is
This is a unique pasta shape made from 100% whole grain spelt and buckwheat flour. The combination of these ancient grains creates a distinct flavor profile and texture. Spelt offers a slightly nutty and sweet taste, while buckwheat contributes a heartier, earthy note. The gemelli shape, resembling twisted strands, holds sauces well and adds visual appeal to dishes. It is certified organic, ensuring it is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
How people cook with it
This pasta is a versatile base for a variety of meals, from simple weeknight dinners to more elaborate culinary creations.
- Tossed with pesto
- Served with hearty ragu
- Mixed into pasta salads
- Baked with cheese
Cook the gemelli in a generous amount of well-salted boiling water until al dente, following the package directions for optimal texture. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water to help emulsify and coat the strands. The gemelli shape is excellent for capturing chunky vegetable sauces, creamy dressings, or simple olive oil-based preparations. It can also be used in baked pasta dishes or cold pasta salads.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional durum wheat pasta, this blend uses whole grain spelt and buckwheat. This results in a darker color, a more robust flavor, and a slightly firmer bite. The absence of refined flour contributes to its wholesome character and unique taste.
