Rustichella d'Abruzzo 90-Second Rapida Spaghetti

I bought the 90-second spaghetti because it was for a group of 20. I cooked it about double that time because we all like it softer. It was fabulous. Well worth the money and great when you want a quick cook time. All your pasta is incredible! Thank you.

I have been enjoying this pasta. I found that it is often helpful to simply add more liquid to my sauce and add this pasta to the sauce and cook it together with the sauce. It's easy and delicious. The pasta absorbs the extra liquid, and the starch released thickens the sauce. Makes one less pot to deal with. Great product. I wouldn't hesitate to use it.

I LOVE this spaghetti!! At first I was skeptical as to how good it might be but when I tried it, I was amazed. The texture and flavor are quite excellent and the convenience is fantastic. (It actually takes me more like 120 seconds to get it perfect but I tend to cook pasta in smaller volume of water which may affect cooking time.) I love spaghetti type pastas and along with this I also still use some artisan varieties and specialty (like squid ink) but this 90-second spaghetti is a solid staple in my pantry. It absolutely stands up to Rustichella d’Abruzo’s reputation for quality. It’s versatile (like for use in a wide range of noodle dishes like some Asian noodle salads, for one), ridiculously and wonderfully convenient for anytime dining (great for late night, post-event/post-gig/post-theater meals), makes good useful “pasta water” despite short cooking time, good value and … more!

I highly recommend it! Nothing like it anywhere else.

(PS - TIP: when subbing spaghetti for Asian noodles, great tip from the venerable Kenji Alt-Lopez is to add some baking soda to cooking water; makes for a springier noodle texture comparable to Asian noodles - check it out.)

It will take at LEAST 10-12 minutes for a decently large pot of water to boil here at 6,450ft of altitude in Colorado...wish you could sell me some Rapida Acqua water to speed up my spaghetti!
