Whole Wheat Pasta Shells

Whole Wheat Pasta Shells

EverydayDry

Whole wheat pasta shells are a whole grain pasta variety made from flour that retains the nutrient-rich bran and germ of the wheat kernel. This pasta maintains the classic shell shape's sauce-holding capacity while providing significantly more fiber and protein than refined pasta versions. The nutty-flavored noodles require similar boiling times as regular pasta but offer a heartier, chewier texture and lower glycemic impact for better blood sugar management.
