Whole Wheat Spaghetti
What it is
This is a type of pasta made from whole wheat flour. It is a dried product, typically shaped into long, thin strands. Whole wheat flour includes the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, which gives it a slightly different texture and flavor compared to pasta made from refined flour. It is a pantry staple for many households.
How people cook with it
This pasta is a versatile base for countless meals. It pairs well with a wide variety of sauces and ingredients.

- With pesto
- As a side dish
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 thoroughly. For best results, toss the hot pasta with your chosen sauce immediately after draining to help it absorb the flavors.
