If you are a rice connoisseur you know this. But here is a crash course on different rice varieties:
Basmati (good for pilafs and when you want fluffy rice)
Arborio (risotto, this stuff gets creamy)
Short Grain (totally versatile, somewhat sticky like sushi rice)
Jasmine (fragrant and great for Asian cuisine, also a bit sticky)
Polenta (cornmeal)
Canned cannellini beans
Canned chickpeas
Couscous (semolina and wheat)
Lentils (green and red)
Quinoa
The Italians match the pasta to the sauce, so go wild and keep a few types on deck:
Spaghetti- long
Fettuccine- flat
Macaroni- at Fooblie we like the shells
Penne- has a hole in it
These noodles take your pantry staples to a new level!
Rice noodles (made with rice)
Bean thread noodles (some call these glass noodles made from mung beans)
Egg Noodles (Chinese wheat noodles enriched with egg)
Ramen Noodles (wheat)
