Specifications

High Protein Pasta from Sam Mills contains no additives and is made only from legumes, which is why the water they are boiled in becomes slightly cloudy—it contains natural starch. After boiling, the pasta should either be added directly to the pre-prepared sauce (the natural starch helps bind the sauce to the pasta) or rinsed with warm water. You can find more information here about the proper cooking method.
