Whole Foods Market Tuscan Kale Fettuccine
What it is
This is a fresh pasta made with durum wheat semolina and finely chopped Tuscan kale. The kale is incorporated directly into the dough, giving the pasta a subtle earthy flavor and a beautiful green hue. It is a convenient way to add a vegetable component to a meal without needing to prepare fresh greens separately. The texture is designed to hold sauces well.
How people cook with it
This fresh fettuccine is perfect for quick and elegant pasta dishes. It pairs wonderfully with a variety of sauces and ingredients.
- Tossed with pesto
- Served with garlic and olive oil
- Mixed with cream sauces
- Added to hearty ragus
To prepare this fettuccine, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the fresh pasta, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente – tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water. Immediately toss with your chosen sauce and any desired additions. The fresh pasta cooks very quickly, so have your sauce ready before you start boiling the water.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike dried pasta, this fresh fettuccine has a more tender texture and a slightly richer mouthfeel due to its higher moisture content. The integrated kale offers a distinct flavor and color that dried pasta typically lacks, providing a more complex base for your dish.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a flavorful and visually appealing pasta option for weeknight dinners or special occasions.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, refrigerate any unused portion of the fresh fettuccine. It is best to consume it within 2 to 3 days for optimal freshness and quality. Ensure the packaging is sealed tightly to prevent the pasta from drying out.
