Edamame Pasta

Origin

Edamame pasta is a modern alternative pasta extruded from edamame (immature soybeans). It targets high-protein, gluten-free cooking while keeping familiar spaghetti and fettuccine shapes.

How to make them

1. 01

   Boil in salted water, tasting early—usually a few minutes less than wheat pasta.

2. 02

   Drain when still slightly firm.

3. 03

   Toss with olive oil, garlic, or pesto to complement the beany note.

4. 04

   Avoid boiling far past al dente; it softens quickly.

Storage

Store dried edamame pasta cool and dry for up to a year. Cooked pasta refrigerates 3–4 days.
