Eden Organic Spelt Spaghetti
What it is
This is a package of 100% whole grain spelt spaghetti. Spelt is an ancient grain that has been cultivated for thousands of years. It is a relative of wheat but has a distinct nutty flavor and a slightly chewier texture. This pasta is made with simple ingredients, focusing on the natural qualities of the spelt grain. It is a good option for those seeking whole grain alternatives in their pantry.
How people cook with it
Whole grain spelt spaghetti can be used in a variety of pasta dishes. It holds up well to robust sauces and can be a satisfying base for many meals.
- With marinara sauce
- In pasta salads
- Tossed with pesto
- With garlic and olive oil
To cook, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spelt spaghetti and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, meaning it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well. It can then be immediately tossed with your favorite sauce, vegetables, or other ingredients. Avoid rinsing the pasta unless preparing a cold pasta salad, as this can remove starches that help sauce adhere.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional durum wheat spaghetti, spelt spaghetti has a nuttier flavor profile and a slightly more tender bite when cooked. Its whole grain nature means it retains more of the original grain's characteristics, offering a different texture and taste experience.
