ABSTRACT:
An al dente pasta product having storage stability is produced by partially cooking freshly extruded pasta with steam or boiling water. Measured amounts of the partially cooked pasta are sealed in a container with measured amounts of water sufficient to complete hydration to 65% to 75% moisture and measured amounts of a food grade acid sufficient to reduce the pH to 4.6 or less. The sealed containers may be commercially sterilized under moderate thermal processing conditions. In a specific embodiment, the containers contain pasta in a carbon dioxide atmosphere.
