Giant Eagle Whole Wheat Spaghetti
What it is
This is a package of dried spaghetti made from 100% whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, which gives the pasta a slightly darker color and a more robust flavor compared to pasta made with refined white flour. It is a common pantry staple for many households.
How people cook with it
Spaghetti is a versatile pasta shape that works well in a variety of dishes. It is a foundation for many classic meals.

- In baked pasta dishes
- Tossed with pesto
- As a base for meat sauces
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, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your desired sauce, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the strands evenly. Serve hot.
