Dried Pasta

Dry pasta is pasta that has been dried to make it shelf-stable. As a general rule, as long as dry pasta is stored in a cool dry place, it will keep indefinitely, making it a very handy staple food. The majority of markets and stores that sell food items have dry pasta, which comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, styles, and flavors.

Dried pasta can be kept for up to two years, unlike fresh pasta, which must be consumed within a few days. Because it contains more fiber, manganese, and magnesium and fewer calories than refined white pasta, whole wheat pasta is a healthier option. Brown rice pasta and spaghetti made from gluten-free grains are healthful substitutes with a comparable shelf life for people who cannot tolerate the gluten found in pasta made from wheat. In the bulk section of supermarkets, a variety of pasta varieties are often sold at a discount.
