What to look for in Pasta?
Durum wheat semolina is the standard for pasta that holds its bite. Maida-based pasta turns soft and sticky.
A single-ingredient list is achievable here. Added emulsifiers and colours are not necessary in dry pasta.
Whole wheat pasta is darker and firmer. A pale 'whole wheat' pasta is usually mostly refined flour.
Check the cooking time on the pack against the shape. Very short times often mean a softer, more refined dough.
