Whole-Wheat Pasta
Varieties
Whole-wheat pasta comes in many shapes and sizes, including macaroni, spaghetti, farfalle (bow-ties), rotelle (corkscrews), conchiglie (shells), linguini (broad, flat noodles), and others.
Preparation, Uses, & Tips
Add pasta a little at a time to boiling water. To prevent pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan, stir gently until the water returns to a rapid boil. Cooking time varies, depending on the pasta’s shape and size. After cooking, drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. As a general rule, use light sauces for delicate pastas like capellini or angel hair, and chunky, richer sauces for sturdy pastas, such as fuselli and linguini.
Storing
Store it, unopened, in a cool, dry cupboard for six to eight months.
