Pasta & Noodles
Pasta night can be quick and familiar, but it does not have to be predictable. At Natura Market, our Pasta & Noodles collection includes classic shapes, high-protein alternatives, gluten-free options and speedy bowls for nights when dinner needs to happen now. You can choose around texture, cooking time and the sauce or broth you are craving, then turn a pantry staple into a meal that feels entirely your own.
Choose Pasta for the Sauce You Love
The shape of pasta changes the way a meal eats. Tubes and ridged pieces hold chunky sauces, long strands suit smooth sauces and small shapes work well in soups or pasta salads. Traditional wheat noodles give you the familiar bite, while alternative ingredients bring their own flavours and textures to the bowl.
Chickpea pasta has an earthy, savoury character and a firm bite that works well with tomato sauces, pesto and roasted vegetables. Lentil pasta brings its own colour and flavour to the bowl. High protein pasta can use legumes, wheat blends or other ingredients, giving you several ways to add more protein while keeping pasta at the centre of dinner.
Explore Gluten-Free, Low-Carb and Quick-Cooking Noodles
Gluten free pasta may be made from rice, corn, legumes or a blend of ingredients. Each type cooks a little differently, so taste it near the end of the suggested cooking time and drain it as soon as the texture suits you. Low carb pasta can include vegetable-based noodles or specialized recipes designed with fewer carbohydrates.
Noodles also open the door to brothy, saucy and stir-fried meals. Ramen noodles are ideal when you want a comforting bowl with vegetables, eggs or another favourite topping. Instant noodles make the fastest option even easier; add greens, frozen vegetables or leftover protein when you want to turn the bowl into a fuller meal.
Make Pasta Night Work Harder
Cook only what you need for the meal, or prepare extra for lunch the next day. Reserve a little cooking water before draining to help sauces cling and loosen when needed. At Natura Market, you can explore shapes, ingredients and dietary options, making it easier to match the noodle to your dinner rather than settling for the same bowl every time.
Pasta & Noodles FAQs
How do I stop gluten-free pasta from getting mushy?
Begin checking it before the full cooking time has passed, stir gently and drain it once it reaches the texture you like. Because ingredients vary, one type may cook faster than another.
What sauces work well with legume pasta?
Tomato sauce, pesto, olive oil, roasted vegetables and creamy sauces can all work. Choose a sauce with enough flavour to complement the naturally savoury taste of chickpea or lentil pasta.
How can I upgrade instant noodles?
Add vegetables, herbs, an egg, tofu or another protein, and adjust the seasoning to your taste. A squeeze of citrus or spoonful of chili crisp can add brightness and heat.
