What it is
Curly pasta is a type of pasta shaped into twists or curls. It is typically made from durum wheat flour and water, extruded into its characteristic shape, and then dried. It is a common pasta shape found in many grocery stores.
Why it's used
Curly pasta is used as a base for many dishes, providing a fun texture and shape. It is often found in packaged meal kits, soups, and pasta salads. Its shape helps hold sauces and small ingredients, making it popular in children's meals and convenience foods.
Health notes
Curly pasta is a carbohydrate source and is generally recognized as safe by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is not typically associated with significant health concerns when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many pasta ingredients, and standard pasta is not a subject of major controversy.
Allergen info
Curly pasta made from wheat contains gluten and is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Consumers with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid it.
