Mantova Italian Organic Whole Wheat Pasta, Penne, 1-Pound Bags (Pack of 6)
The famous Mediterranean Diet is based on the foundation of nutritious carbohydrates such as pasta.
Pasta, in all its myriad forms, is the unifying link in Italian cuisine. The finest of Italian pasta is made from durum wheat that has become synonymous with flavor, quality, goodness, nutritional value, and a tremendous source of energy. The high-quality durum wheat used for Mantova Organic Pasta is grown in the sunny, fertile soil of Apulia in southern Italy, producing grain that is richer in minerals, vitamins and proteins.
Pasta, along with wine and olive oil, is also part of the great culinary trilogy of Mediterranean.
Good quality durum wheat pasta, such as Mantova Organic Pasta and Mantova Organic Whole Wheat Pasta, should have a pleasant scent and a golden-yellowish color that is uniform on the inside when broken.

This is a sign of high-quality wheat and proper drying techniques.
It’s important to know that pasta, once it is cooked, increases to about three times its original size. For this reason, the pasta pot must be of ample size to accommodate the volume of water necessary and the pasta to be cooked.

Once cooked, the pasta should be strained, sauced,
