Weis Quality Whole Grain Thin Spaghetti Pasta
What it is
This is a package of whole grain thin spaghetti pasta. It is made from whole wheat flour, which means it includes the bran and germ of the wheat kernel. This gives the pasta a slightly different texture and flavor compared to pasta made with refined flour. The thin cut means it cooks more quickly than thicker varieties.
How people cook with it
This pasta is a versatile base for many different meals. It works well with a variety of sauces and additions.
- With marinara sauce
- In pasta salads
- With pesto
- With olive oil and garlic
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well. You can then toss it with your favorite sauce, add it to a soup, or chill it for a pasta salad. Adjust cooking time for desired tenderness.
How it differs from similar foods
Whole grain pasta has a nuttier flavor and a slightly chewier texture than regular white pasta. The thin strands cook faster than thicker spaghetti, making it a good choice for quick weeknight meals. Its color is also a deeper brown due to the whole wheat.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a whole grain option for their pasta dishes will appreciate this product.
