Bevelini Spaghetti 500g

Description

Bevelini Spaghetti is a durum wheat semolina pasta that has firmly established itself in West African cooking — not just as a side dish but as a star of Nigerian party trays, where boiled spaghetti dressed in rich tomato-based stew and garnished with protein is a beloved celebration staple. Nigerian spaghetti — cooked longer than the Italian tradition to a softer, more sauce-absorbing consistency and tossed through spiced tomato, onion, and scotch bonnet stew — is a dish all of its own, and Bevelini’s durum wheat base holds up beautifully to this style of cooking.

How to cook

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook for 8–10 minutes to an al dente texture, or a few minutes longer for the softer result preferred in Nigerian-style cooking.
• Drain and toss immediately through your prepared tomato stew, jollof sauce, or vegetable and protein base.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Keep away from moisture and pests.

Frequently asked

How do I make Nigerian party spaghetti?

Cook the spaghetti until soft. Separately, fry a base of blended tomatoes, scotch bonnet, tatashe, and onions with cooking oil until reduced. Add seasoning cubes, salt, and your protein. Toss the cooked spaghetti through the sauce until fully coated and serve.

Is durum wheat pasta better than regular pasta?

Yes — durum wheat semolina gives a firmer, better-structured pasta that holds its shape during longer cooking times, making it ideal for sauce-heavy African-style pasta dishes.
