Beyond Market Side Spring Twist Pasta
What it is
Beyond Market Side Spring Twist is a unique pasta shape designed to capture sauces and ingredients. Its spiral form, with twists and turns, creates pockets that hold onto flavors beautifully. This pasta is made from durum wheat semolina, a common and traditional ingredient for pasta making, ensuring a good texture when cooked.
How people cook with it
This pasta shape is versatile and works well in a variety of dishes, from simple weeknight meals to more elaborate pasta creations.
- Tossed with pesto
- Mixed into pasta salads
- Served with chunky sauces
- Baked into casseroles
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the Spring Twist pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving a little of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your favorite sauce, ensuring the twists catch every bit of flavor. The reserved water can be used to help emulsify the sauce if needed.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike smoother pasta shapes, the Spring Twist's intricate design offers a more engaging texture and superior sauce adhesion. Its nooks and crannies are perfect for trapping smaller ingredients and making every bite flavorful.

Home cooks looking for a fun and functional pasta shape will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused portion of the pasta in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry.
