Eden Organic 100% Whole Grain Spelt Ribbons
What it is
These are flat, ribbon-shaped pasta noodles made entirely from 100% whole grain spelt flour. Spelt is an ancient grain with a nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture. The whole grain aspect means the entire kernel of the spelt grain is used, contributing to its wholesome character. These ribbons are a good choice for those seeking alternatives to traditional wheat pasta.
How people cook with it
Spelt ribbons are versatile and can be incorporated into a variety of dishes. They absorb sauces well and hold their shape during cooking.
- Tossed with pesto
- Mixed into pasta salads
- Served with hearty ragu
- Baked in casseroles
To prepare, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spelt ribbons and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions, typically around 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta well and rinse briefly with cool water if using in a cold salad. Toss immediately with your desired sauce or ingredients to prevent clumping. The nutty flavor of the spelt complements a wide range of flavors, from simple olive oil and garlic to rich tomato-based sauces.
