Hannaford Whole Wheat Thin Spaghetti
What it is
This is a package of thin spaghetti made from whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, which gives it a slightly heartier texture and a nuttier flavor compared to pasta made with refined white flour. The thin strands cook relatively quickly, making it a convenient option for weeknight meals.
How people cook with it
Whole wheat thin spaghetti is a versatile pasta that can be paired with a variety of sauces and ingredients.
- With marinara sauce
- In pasta salads
- With pesto
- As a base for baked dishes
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the thin 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 chosen sauce or ingredients. The reserved pasta water can be added to the sauce to help it emulsify and coat the pasta more evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular spaghetti, whole wheat thin spaghetti has a darker color and a more pronounced wheat flavor. Its texture is often a bit chewier due to the presence of the entire wheat kernel. The thinner cut means it cooks faster than thicker varieties.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a whole grain pasta option will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion of the whole wheat thin spaghetti in an airtight container or the original packaging, sealed tightly. Keep it in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry, to maintain its freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
