- In soups
- With simple sauces
To cook, bring a large pot of unsalted water to a rolling boil. Add the split pea twists and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually around 8-10 minutes, until they are tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly. You can then toss them with your favorite sauce, add them to a hearty soup, or chill them for a delightful pasta salad. They are also delicious served simply with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of herbs.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused portion in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Ensure the container is well-sealed to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. This will keep the pasta from becoming stale or attracting pests.
