Sainsbury's Taste the Difference FreeFrom Casarecce

What it is

It is made from a blend of alternative flours to mimic the texture and taste of traditional wheat pasta. The casarecce shape is a short, twisted pasta that holds sauces well. It offers a satisfying bite when cooked properly.

How people cook with it

This pasta is a versatile base for many dishes. It can be used in hot meals or cold pasta salads.

  • With tomato-based sauces
  • In creamy pasta bakes
  • Tossed with pesto
  • As a base for cold salads

Cook the pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The cooking time will vary depending on the specific product, so it is best to test a piece for doneness. Once al dente, drain the pasta well. It is then ready to be combined with your chosen sauce or ingredients. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the pasta mushy.

How it differs from similar foods

This can affect its texture and how it absorbs water during cooking. It may require slightly different handling to achieve the desired firmness.

How to keep the rest

Once opened, store any remaining pasta in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry. Ensure the container is sealed tightly.
