Spaghetti Grossi No 5

This is a straightforward Italian durum wheat semolina spaghetti, just thicker than the standard cut, made in Italy with Rummo's slow drying method that helps it hold al dente. Nutritionally it is a conventional refined white pasta, so a 2 ounce dry serving lands at 210 calories and 41 grams of carbs with only 2 grams of fiber, which is the same ballpark as any regular semolina spaghetti. A health minded shopper reaches for it because it cooks up with good bite and clean ingredients, not because it is a nutrition upgrade over other white pastas. If you want more fiber or protein per serving, a chickpea or whole wheat pasta will do more for you.
