Semolina pasta

Semolina pasta is made from coarsely ground durum wheat flour (semolina), which gives it its characteristic golden-yellow colour, firm texture and a slightly nutty flavour. Semolina has a high gluten content, which allows the pasta to hold its shape well during cooking and prevents it from sticking together. It is a staple of traditional Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. It pairs well with all types of sauces, tomato, cream, meat-based and pesto. The correct cooking time depends on the shape and thickness, al dente is the golden standard. It is more nutritious than pasta made from common wheat and has a lower glycaemic index.
