Long Pasta

fettuccini

Fettuccini

A thick pasta that holds up well to creamy sauces.  Fettuccini is a lovely backdrop for  large pieces of veggies or meat.  Don't feel limited to Alfredo with Chicken!  There are many ways to enjoy this wonderful pasta.  Try tossing cooked pasta in olive oil with garlic and basil for an easy, classic taste of Italy.

Linguine

Lighter than Fettuccini, linguini adds an elegant feel and texture to your pasta dish.  Use Linguine instead of Spaghetti to turn "the same old" meal into something a little more sophisticated.  It is very versatile, making it an exciting pair with practically any sauce.

Thin Spaghetti

This delicate Spaghetti is a must-have for any pantry.  Use with Marinara or Meat Sauce along with home-made meatballs for the classic Spaghetti and Meatballs, or get a little creative with pan-fried vegetables and toss in the cooked spaghetti for some European flair.  This pasta is an all-around favorite for good reason!

Angel Hair

As delicate as you can get when it comes to pasta.  It's extremely light texture is unique and works well to highlight the flavors in the sauce.  Thinner tomato sauces work well with Angel Hair.  However, the right creamy sauce paired with Angel Hair can make a heavenly creation.
