Signature Select Whole Wheat Spaghetti
What it is
This is a package of dried spaghetti made from whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, which gives the pasta a slightly different texture and a nuttier flavor compared to pasta made with refined white flour. It is a pantry staple for many households and a versatile base for a wide variety of dishes.
How people cook with it
Spaghetti is a classic pasta shape that pairs well with many sauces and ingredients.
- With marinara sauce
- In pasta salads
- With pesto
- With meatballs
To prepare, 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, reserving a little of the cooking water. Toss the drained spaghetti immediately with your favorite sauce or other ingredients while it is still warm to help the sauce adhere.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular white flour spaghetti, whole wheat spaghetti has a darker color and a more robust, slightly earthy flavor. It also tends to have a firmer texture and may absorb sauce a bit differently due to the presence of the entire wheat kernel.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a whole grain pasta option will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened package in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, keep the remaining pasta in an airtight container or resealable bag to maintain freshness and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry.
