Severino Sprouted Lily Pasta
What it is
This is a unique pasta shape made from sprouted wheat flour. Sprouting the wheat before milling can change its texture and flavor profile. The lily shape is a decorative, flower-like form that holds sauce well. It is a specialty pasta, often made in small batches.
How people cook with it
This pasta is ideal for adding a special touch to weeknight meals or for entertaining. Its shape makes it visually appealing.
- Sauces that cling to shapes
- Creamy pasta dishes
- Light vinaigrette dressings
- Baked pasta casseroles
Boil the pasta in a generous amount of salted water until al dente, following the package directions for cooking time. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss the drained pasta with your chosen sauce immediately. The cooking water can be added to the sauce to help it emulsify and coat the pasta more evenly. Consider serving with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or grated cheese.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard durum wheat pasta, sprouted wheat pasta may have a slightly nuttier flavor and a more tender bite. The lily shape itself is less common than shapes like penne or spaghetti, offering a different visual presentation.

How to keep the rest
