What You Should Know

You’ll spot this 365 Everyday Value elbow pasta in the pasta/grains aisle or tucked in the pantry as a cheap, reliable staple for weeknight dinners and lunchboxes. It feels comforting and nostalgic—think mac-and-cheese or quick pasta salad—and signals simple, familiar cooking rather than indulgence. Made only from durum wheat semolina and produced by milling, extrusion and drying, it yields a firm, consistent texture and the single-ingredient list points to basic industrial processing (more processed than a raw grain but not an ultra-processed formulation).
