Makvel Spaghettini No.10 – Fine Greek Pasta for Quick, Delicious Meals

Makvel Spaghettini No.10 brings fine, delicate pasta strands to your table in a handy 500g pack. The recipe combines Greek durum wheat semolina and water, and the pasta cooks in just 5–7 minutes. As a result, you can prepare a warm pasta meal even when time feels tight.

Its slender shape suits light sauces, garlic and olive oil, or a simple tomato topping. Moreover, you can keep the ingredients simple and still enjoy plenty of flavour.

What makes spaghettini different?

Spaghettini has thinner strands than standard spaghetti, giving each forkful a more delicate texture. Consequently, it works particularly well when you want the sauce and pasta to mingle easily.

For example, try a light tomato sauce with fresh basil and a little grated cheese. Alternatively, toss the strands with olive oil, lemon zest and parsley for a bright, simple supper.

Choose this durum wheat pasta for:

• Fine strands that pair beautifully with light sauces.
• A quick cooking time of 5–7 minutes.
• A 500g pack for family meals or smaller portions.
• A simple recipe of durum wheat semolina and water.
• Flexible serving options with vegetables, seafood or meat.

How to cook it

For Makvel Spaghettini No.10, use one litre of water for every 100g of dry pasta. First, bring the water to a rolling boil and add salt to taste.

Next, add the pasta and stir occasionally as it cooks. Start checking after five minutes, especially if you prefer a firmer bite. However, allow up to seven minutes if you enjoy a softer texture.

Before draining, save a small cup of cooking water. Then, toss the pasta with your chosen sauce, adding a splash of that water if needed. This helps loosen thick sauces and coat the strands more evenly.

Finally, serve straight away while the pasta feels tender and the sauce remains warm.

Easy ways to serve it

For a Greek touch, spoon over tomato sauce and finish with grated kefalotyri or dry mizithra. Add a pinch of oregano if you enjoy its fragrant flavour.

Alternatively, cook sliced garlic gently in olive oil, then add chilli and parsley. Toss everything together for a quick supper with very little preparation.

You can also pair these fine strands with prawns, cherry tomatoes and lemon. Meanwhile, roasted courgettes, peppers and aubergines offer a colourful vegetable topping.

For extra variety, use chickpeas with tomato sauce and chopped spinach. This combination also adds pulses and vegetables to your meal.

Nutrition and everyday meals

The pasta provides carbohydrates, alongside some protein and fibre. However, your portion size and toppings shape the nutritional balance of the finished dish.

For a more varied plate, add vegetables and a protein food such as beans, fish or chicken. You can also serve a crisp salad alongside your pasta.

Greek pasta heritage

Makvel began making pasta in 1939, giving the brand a long connection with Greek food production. Today, EURIMAC manufactures its pasta in Kilkis, northern Greece.

With Makvel Spaghettini No.10, you can bring that heritage into everyday home cooking. This Greek spaghettini pasta suits both familiar family recipes and new combinations.
