Gia Russa Whole Wheat Thin Spaghetti
What it is
This is a package of thin spaghetti made from whole durum wheat. Whole wheat pasta includes the entire grain kernel, which gives it a slightly different texture and color compared to pasta made from refined flour. The thin strands cook relatively quickly and absorb sauces well, making them versatile for many dishes. It is a staple in many pantries.
How people cook with it
Whole wheat thin spaghetti is a popular choice for weeknight meals and family dinners. It pairs well with a wide variety of sauces and ingredients.
- With marinara sauce
- In pasta salads
- With pesto
- As a side dish
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly, reserving a little of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your favorite sauce or olive oil to prevent clumping. The reserved water can be used to help emulsify and thicken sauces.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular spaghetti made from refined flour, whole wheat spaghetti has a nuttier flavor and a slightly chewier texture. Its darker color comes from the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, which are retained in the whole grain.

How to keep the rest
