Flavored Pasta
Varieties
Flavored pasta comes in several shapes and sizes, including macaroni, spaghetti, farfalle (bow-ties), rotelle (corkscrews), conchiglie (shells), linguini (broad, flat noodles), and others. Flavored pasta is also available fresh.
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 type of pasta. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. As a general rule, use light sauces for delicate pastas, such as capellini or angel hair, and chunky, richer sauces for sturdy pastas, such as fuselli and linguini.
Storing
Store dried flavored pasta, unopened, in a cool, dry cupboard for six to eight months. Store fresh flavored pasta in the refrigerator and use within a day or two.
