A better way to al dente
Il Trullo pastas
Noshing & Sipping by Theresa Regli
Dried pasta is a pantry staple for everyone from harried college
students to gourmet chefs. One of the best brands to keep in stock is Il
Trullo, which is imported from Puglia, Italy, and made from pure durum wheat
semolina. The lack of additives makes it superior to factory-made dried pasta:
it absorbs less water as it cooks, which means you end up with more perfectly
al dente pasta. A 500 g (1.1 lb.) bag costs between $3 and $4 at some
supermarkets, including Bread & Circus, and most specialty food stores.
