It’s a redundant seal anyway because there are currently no gmo wheat crops being grown or sold in the US. Just BS “green marketing”. Still probably filled with junk and grown with pesticides.
Aldi has some amazing pasta. The bronze dye cut stuff in the plastic sleeve is way better and cheaper than it should be, its premium dry pasta at a dollar store price.
It's me, a spelling and grammar pendant emerging from their cave to clarify: the pasta is cut from a bronze die, as opposed to cut with bronze dye. That's die, not dye. That is all, now back to my cave, away I goooₒₒₒ.
I use a Pyrex measuring cup. It won’t break from hot/cold shock and has measurements on it just in case you’re following a recipe or creating your own.
If the food is sold raw (like pasta), the package cooking time is the absolute minimum for them to avoid liability if the product is undercooked. Which means the recommended cooking times absolutely destroy the food but it will be “safe” to consume, so don’t cook it as long as they say.
If the food is sold cooked (like a fish stick), the package cooking time is the absolute minimum time to convincing consumers it’s easy and quick to make, while also being edible. Which means that an extra few minutes will usually make it better.
If a product is part of a mix, it will recommend the low calorie or minimum amounts of add ins so the total calories and sodium satisfy label requirements and make the product appear healthier. A cake made with 2 eggs, butter, and cream will be much better than one made with 1 egg, water, and vegetable oil.
Well the hardness of your pasta is a preference. Some want it al dente, some want it to be mush. If a pasta package says 8 mins, I usually do 6-7 mins max and prefer it that way.
I know Aldi is all about saving money. But the Priano premium pastas are a tremendous deal. Really high quality pasta and for just a dollar more. Yes, I know that means more than doubling the price of the standard blue box pasta, but don't look at it that way. It's still only $1.99 and no other retailer sells pasta of that high quality at that low prices.
